A hendecahedron is a polyhedron which has $11$ faces.


Linguistic Note

The word hendecahedron derives from the Classical Greek ἕνδεκαεδρόν:

hendeca (ἕνδεκα), meaning eleven
hedron (a form of ἕδρα), meaning base or seat.


The technically correct plural of hendecahedron is hendecahedra, but the word hendecahedrons can often be found.
