Definition

A heptahedron is a polyhedron which has $7$ faces.


Linguistic Note

The word heptahedron derives from the Classical Greek ἑπτάεδρόν:

hepta (ἑπτά), meaning seven
hedron (a form of ἕδρα), meaning base or seat.


The technically correct plural of heptahedron is heptahedra, but the word heptahedrons can often be found.
