'poly' is from Latin and means 'many'. 'gon' , again from Latin, and means a 2-dimentional figure. So 'polygon' means a many sided two=dimensional figure.
name of a polygon with 12 sides = dodecagon
Greek: "poly-" from polus, meaning many. "gon" from gonia, meaning angle. Hence, many angles and implicitly many sides.
It means angle or corner. (poly gon - many angled)
Polygon comes from two parts: Poly -> Many Gon -> angle So literally: poly-gon = many-angles. A polygon is a plane with more than two corners

A 12-gon has 12 sides.
It means angle or corner. (poly gon - many angled)
Most star shaped items are referred to as a "polygon" The prefix poly- meaning "many" and the affix -gon meaning "sides" meaning many or multiple sides. In all reality, it's known as either a polygon or a 10-gon.
"no" sides.
For a Polygon, "Poly" means "many" or "a number of"; "gon", roughly means "angles". So a poloygon is a figure with a number of angles between its sides. . If the number of sides is definite then "poly" is replaced by a word meaning that number.
In general an n-gon has n sides. Therefore, a 123-gon would have 123 sides.

16 sides!
