geometrisk

Geometrisk is the Swedish adjective meaning geometric or relating to geometry. It describes shapes, figures, patterns, and spatial relationships. The word derives from geometria, from Greek roots geo- "earth" and metron "measure," via Latin geometria, and is formed in Swedish with the suffix -isk meaning "pertaining to."

In mathematics, geometrisk applies to the study of points, lines, planes, and solids, as well as the properties and relations of these entities, such as length, area, and volume. It is used to describe figures like circles, triangles, and polygons, and to denote properties such as parallelism, perpendicularity, symmetry, congruence, and similarity.

In addition to pure geometry, geometrisk is used in contexts like a geometrisk progression (geometric progression) where terms multiply by a constant ratio; e.g., 2, 4, 8, 16. A geometrisk pattern or tessellation refers to arrangements based on geometric shapes.

In design, architecture, and art, geometrisk is used to describe motifs and patterns built from geometric shapes, grids, and regularity. The term is common in Swedish and in discussions of geometry, mathematics, and visual design, and it often corresponds to the English term geometric.
