Forms: Middle English quadrangel, Middle English– quadrangle, late Middle English quadrangille, late Middle English quadrangul, late Middle English qwadrangyl.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French quadrangle; Latin quadrangulum.

Etymology: < Middle French quadrangle (French quadrangle ) plane figure with four angles and four straight sides (13th cent. in Old French) and its etymon post-classical Latin quadrangulum (5th cent.; also quadriangulum ), use as noun of neuter of classical Latin quadrangulus (also quadriangulus ) having four corners, quadrangular < quadri- quadri- comb. form + angulus angle n.² Compare quadrangle adj.A pronunciation with primary stress on the second syllable is listed as the primary pronunciation by some sources until as late as the mid 20th cent., and still has some currency.

a. A plane figure with four angles and four straight sides, esp. a square or rectangle; (Geometry) such a figure constructed by joining each of a set of four vertices to two of the others by straight lines; (also) a set of four points, each of which is joined to the other three by a straight line.In Geometry the four sides may cross one another, and the two other lines between the vertices make the figure concave or convex according to whether they intersect inside or outside the figure.
