Morphology

hexangular = angular (semi-transparent) = hex + angular

The element 'angular' clearly supplies 'having angles', but the prefix 'hex-' meaning 'six' is a Greek combining form that may not be transparent to all learners.

Etymology

The word hexangular comes from hex- meaning 'six' and angle meaning 'corner', as you can see in hexagon. So, a hexangular object has six corners or six sides.
