Noun

Forms: great rhombicuboctahedra [plural], great rhombicuboctahedrons [plural]
Etymology: From great + rhombicuboctahedron, referring to the fact that, similarly to the rhombicuboctahedron, the 12 square faces lie in the same planes as the 12 faces of the rhombic dodecahedron, the dual of the cuboctahedron. Head templates: {{en-noun|great rhombicuboctahedra|s}} great rhombicuboctahedron (plural great rhombicuboctahedra or great rhombicuboctahedrons)
  1. (geometry) An Archimedean solid that is isogonal and has twenty-six regular faces (twelve square, eight hexagonal and six octagonal).
