Chiliahedron

/kɪliːəˈhɛdrɒn/ noun

Definition

A three-dimensional geometric solid having one thousand flat faces or surfaces.

Etymology

From Greek 'khiliás' (thousand) + 'hedra' (face, seat). This compounds the two Greek elements directly to describe a polyhedron with 1,000 faces, following the standard '-hedron' nomenclature in geometry.

Kelly Says

A true chiliahedron with 1,000 faces would be so complex that it would appear nearly spherical to the human eye—demonstrating how geometric terminology lets us discuss objects that exist purely in mathematics but cannot be practically constructed or visualized by humans.
