History

Etymology

Analyzable as hexahecta- (“six hundred”) (from hexa- + hect(a)-) + enneaconta- (“ninety”) (from ennea- + the common element in Ancient Greek ἑξήκοντα (hexḗkonta, “sixty”), τεσσαράκοντα (tessarákonta, “forty”), etc.) + Ancient Greek καί (kaí, “and”) + hepta- (“seven”) + -gon. Coined humorously to describe the shape of the US state of Colorado.
