** English
[2025]
*** Etymology
[en] The [adjective] is a [en].[1][2] The first part, [la], comes from [en],
[ine-pro]. The second part, [la], may be from [ine-pro].
The [noun] is derived from the adjective.<ref name="OED"/>[3] The [plural]
forms [en] and [en] are learned borrowings from [en] ([masculine] or
[feminine]) and [la] ([neuter]), respectively plural forms of [la].
Noun [en] (“generalization of a triangle or tetrahedron to an arbitrary
dimension”) was apparently [coined] by the Dutch mathematician [Pieter Hendrik
Schoute] (1846–1913) as a short version of _Simplicissimum_ in
_Mehrdimensionale Geometrie_ (in German, 1902).[4] (In his pioneering works on
algebraic topology, the French mathematician [Henri Poincaré] (1854–1912) had
previously introduced the concept, but not the actual term _simplex_.)[5]
