Definition

A decahedron is a polyhedron which has $10$ faces.


Linguistic Note

The word decahedron derives from the Classical Greek δεκαεδρόν:

deca (δεκα), meaning ten
hedron (a form of ἕδρα), meaning base or seat.


The technically correct plural of decahedron is decahedra, but the word decahedrons can often be found.
