Tessellate


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To form into squares or checkers; to lay with checkered work.
  • (a.) Tessellated.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) I arrange my coins into ascending size in my pockets, for example, and nothing gives me more comfort than the knowledge that my forks, knives and spoons are all in the correct place, tessellating magnificently in their drawer.
  • (2) Cells, considered as polygons, site their division line according to stochastic rules, eventually forming a tessellation of the plane.
