parallelogramn.

Brit.

/ˌparəˈlɛləɡram/, U.S.

/ˌpɛrəˈlɛləˌɡræm/

Forms: 1500s parallelogramme, 1600s paralelagrames (plural), 1600s paralelogram, 1600s paralelogramme, 1600s– parallelogram.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French parallélogramme.

Etymology: < French parallélogramme (1547) < post-classical Latin parallelogrammum (4th–5th cent.) < Hellenistic Greek παραλληλόγραμμον , use as noun of neuter singular of παραλληλόγραμμος bounded by parallel lines < ancient Greek παράλληλος parallel adj. + γραμμή line (see -gram comb. form).

a. Geometry. A four-sided plane rectilinear figure whose opposite sides are parallel; esp. one whose sides do not intersect at right angles. Hence: an area, object, etc., having this shape, or whose cross-section has this shape.
