'geometric' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'geometrikos,' where 'geo-' meant 'earth' and 'metron' meant 'measure.'

'geometrikos' transformed into the Latin word 'geometricus,' and eventually became the modern English word 'geometric' through Old French.

Initially, it meant 'earth measurement,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'relating to geometry or characterized by regular shapes.'
