The word hexagon is derived from the Greek word 'hexagonon'. A hexagon is a six-sided figure that has straight sides. Each angle in a hexagon is 120 degrees.
The Latin word for a hexagon is "hexagnum." The Latin word is derived from the Greek word "hexagnos," and they all mean "something with six angles."
The word "hexagon" comes from Greek, with "hexa" meaning "six" and "gonia" meaning "angle." It refers to a polygon with six sides and six angles.
