"Αυτή είναι η γωνία μου."

[yuriSVB]

'Γωνία' becomes 'gon' in words like polygon?
Can someone confirm that?

[Dimitra956826]

You're on the right track. -γωνο in a word, when it follows a type of number, indicates the number or type of angles/corners.

for exp. Τετράγωνο = σχήμα με τέσσερις γωνίες, πολύγωνο= σχήμα με πολλές γωνίες.

Αlso, -γωνικός is it's adjective form. (Not that commonly used, but it's a thing)

for exp. Τριγωνικό τραπέζι - Triangular/trigonal table.

I hope my answer was helpful enough ^.^

And suddenly the word "trigonometry" makes sense.... Thank you for the explanation.

In Sanskrit, the word for "an angle/a corner" is "konas". So, a triangle in Sanskrit is "Trikonas" whereas in Greek it is Τρίγωνο. These words are so fascinatingly close :-)

That's the sort of thing that led linguists to realise eventually that Sanskrit and Greek and Latin must have come from the same origin.
