Morphology

geometrical + regularity

The meaning is directly compositional: 'geometrical' (relating to geometry) combined with 'regularity' (the state or property of being regular) yields the property of a geometric figure having consistent sides/angles. This construction follows standard English word-formation and parallels patterns in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Geometrical regularity paints a picture of a shape where every side and every angle match, like a perfect square or a row of identical tiles. So it means the property of a shape having all sides and angles 'equal'.
