A polyhedron is a solid object all of whose faces are polygons.
poly = many hedron = face
Poly means many and hedron means shape so it could mean any number of sides. Or simply put, as many as you like!
A 'hedron' from Latin. Hence 'polyhedron' a many sided three dimensional object.
It means angle or corner. (poly gon - many angled)
A polyhedron is a 3-dimensional shape with MANY, but UNSPECIFIED number of vertices. The number of edges and faces are therefore not specified either. Poly = many Hedron = Vertex
poly = many hedron = face
The root word Hedron is a suffix.
Poly means many.
Poly means many and hedron means shape so it could mean any number of sides. Or simply put, as many as you like!
Just like -gon means "2-D", -hedron means "3-D".Poly- means "many".Polyhedron means "a 3-D shape with manyfaces".
The word "hedron" comes from the Greek language. It is derived from the Greek word "hedra," meaning seat or base.

The octahedron is a shape with eight triangular faces.
"Hedron" is usually at the end of a geometrical shape meaning "faces".
A 'hedron' from Latin. Hence 'polyhedron' a many sided three dimensional object.
More than one, many or much
The word "hedron" comes from Greek, where it means "seat" or "base." It is commonly used in mathematics and geometry to refer to a three-dimensional polyhedron with flat faces and straight edges.
