Morphology
octahedron = octa + hedron
The numeric combining form 'octa-' (eight) is fairly recognizable, but 'hedron' is a technical combining form meaning 'face' that is not familiar to average learners, so the whole word is only partially transparent.
Etymology
The word octahedron comes from Greek parts octa- meaning 'eight' and -hedron meaning 'face' or 'side'. So an octahedron is a three-dimensional shape with eight flat faces, like an octagon (which has eight sides) but in 3D.
