It means angle or corner. (poly gon - many angled)
a Heptagon is a seven sided polygon
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
No. Cubes are three-dimensional, and polygons are two-dimensional.

name of a polygon with 12 sides = dodecagon
A shape in 3D is a polygon. Poly=many and gon=shape.
In general, poly. Specifically, there are infinite prefixes. Examples include deca, octa, and penta.
More sides"poly-" = many"-gon" = sides
It doesn't matter what shape it is, the sum of the exterior angels in any polygon is 180.
I'm pretty sure that -gon is the root word and it means angles. The prefix poly- means many and is most likely what you're asking for.
Greek: "poly-" from polus, meaning many. "gon" from gonia, meaning angle. Hence, many angles and implicitly many sides.
