-goncomb. form

Primary stress is retained by the usual stressed syllable of the preceding element and vowels may be reduced accordingly, e.g. 12-gon Brit.

/ˈtwɛlvɡɒn/, U.S.

/ˈtwɛlvˌɡɑn/.

Forms: 1600s–1700s -gone, 1600s– -gon.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin -gōnon, -gōnum.

Etymology: < classical Latin -gōnon (in e.g. octagōnon octagon n.), -gōnum (in e.g. trigōnum trigon n.) < ancient Greek -γωνον (in e.g. τετράγωνον tetragon n.), neuter of -γωνος ‘-angled’ < γωνία angle, corner < the base of γόνυ knee n. (see note) + -ία -ia suffix¹.The long ō of ancient Greek γωνία can probably be explained as reflecting its regular development in Doric Greek, since the word was influentially used by Pythagorean mathematicians. Compare French -gone.

The second element (representing Greek -γων-ος, -ον, -angled) of heptagon n., hexagon n., etc., sometimes used with algebraic symbols (as m-gon, n-gon) which take the place of a Greek numeral; also with numeral prefixed, as 16-gon.
