TESSELLATING Meaning and
Definition
-
Tessellating is an adjective that refers to the act of creating or forming a pattern by fitting together geometric shapes in a repeated and seamless manner. It comes from the word "tessellation," which is derived from the Latin word "tessella," meaning a small square stone or tile used in mosaics.
When something is described as tessellating, it means that it has the quality or characteristic of fitting together perfectly with other elements to create a continuous pattern, often without any gaps or overlaps. This process is often associated with mathematics, art, and design.
The concept of tessellating shapes is seen in various fields, such as architecture, art, and even nature. Some common examples of tessellating patterns include honeycomb structures, brickwork, ceramic tiles, and certain types of pavement designs.
In mathematics, tessellation is a fundamental concept in geometry, where shapes are arranged in a way that completely covers a two-dimensional surface without any gaps or overlaps. This arrangement can be seen in polygonal shapes like triangles, squares, and hexagons.
The term tessellate can also be used as a verb to denote the action of creating a tessellating pattern or arrangement. It implies the deliberate and precise fitting together of individual pieces to create a coherent and aesthetically pleasing whole.

Etymology of TESSELLATING
The word "tessellating" is derived from the Latin word "tessella", which means a small square tile or a die. "Tessella" is a diminutive of "tessera", referring to a small cube or square used in mosaic work. The term "tessellate" was first recorded in English in the late 17th century, and it originally meant to form or arrange small square tiles into a mosaic pattern. Over time, the term evolved to encompass any repetitive geometric pattern or arrangement of shapes, whether in mosaics, tiling, or other forms of art and design.
