Morphology
hexahedral = hexahedron (semi-transparent) = hexa + hedron + al
The word is regularly formed from the technical base 'hexahedron' plus the adjectival suffix '-al', but the classical combining elements are not part of everyday vocabulary.
Etymology
Hexahedral comes from Greek parts hex- meaning 'six' and -hedron meaning 'face' or 'base', the same hex- you see in hexagon. So something hexahedral has six flat faces, like a cube.
