trapezoidn.adj.

Brit.

/trəˈpiːzɔɪd/,

/ˈtrapɪzɔɪd/, U.S.

/ˈtræpəˌzɔɪd/

Etymology: < modern Latin trapezoïdēs, < late Greek τραπεζοειδής , neuter τραπεζοειδές table-like (Proclus 450), < τράπεζα table: see -oid suffix. Compare French trapézoïde (1652 in Hatzfeld & Darmesteter).

A. n.

1. Geometry.

a. A quadrilateral figure no two of whose sides are parallel. (Often called by English writers (in 19th cent.) trapezium n.)This is the sense for which Proclus introduced the term τραπεζοειδές; it is retained in French trapézoïde, German trapezoïd, etc. See etymological note to trapezium n.

trapezoid1706

trapezium1795

1706 Phillips's New World of Words (new ed.) Trapezoid, a Geometrical Figure that has all its four Sides and Angles unequal, and no Sides parallel.

1753 Chambers's Cycl. Suppl. Trapezoid, in geometry, a plane irregular figure, having four sides, no two of which are parallel to each other.

1788 T. Taylor tr. Proclus Philos. & Math. Comm. I. 176 Of non-parallelograms, some have only two parallel sides,..others have none of their sides parallel. And those are called Trapeziums, but these Trapezoids.

1851 R. F. Burton Goa 274 Its shape is a trapezoid, for though quadrilateral, none of its sides are equal or even.

b. With some: A quadrilateral figure having only two sides parallel: = trapezium n. 1b. Now U.S.A misapplication of the term originally peculiar to English.
