Thiessenn.

/ˈθiːs(ə)n/

Etymology: < the name of Alfred Henry Thiessen (1872–1956), U.S. meteorologist.

Geography and Mathematics.

Used attributively to designate various concepts relating to Thiessen's method of analysing spatial distributions, esp. as Thiessen polygon n. each of the polygons constructed around a set of points by drawing the perpendicular bisectors of the lines between each point and its neighbours, which have the property that every location in the polygon constructed around a particular point is nearer to it than to any other such point.
