Why is a 7-sided shape called a heptagon and not a septagon?

A 7-sided shape is called a heptagon and not a septagon because the names of polygons are derived from the Greek names for the numbers. The Greek for "seven" is "hepta" - thus a heptagon is a 7-sided figure. If the system for naming polygons had been based on the Latin names for numbers, then a 7-sided polygon might have been called a septagon, since the Latin word for "seven" is "septem," but Latin is not the basis for these names in English.

What is the prefix for heptagon or septagon?

The prefix hept- comes from Greek "hepta" and means "seven." The prefix "sept- comes from the Latin "septem," which means "seven." The correct English name for a 7-sides polygon is "heptagon." Those who do not understand that English polygon names are derived from Greek, not from Latin, sometimes incorrectly name a 7-sided polygon as a septagon.
