tesseract \'TESS-sir-act\ - the four-dimensional analogue of a cube
A great word. that I should have known already. According to Wikipedia, the spherical equivalent is called a glome and the n-space generalization of this is an n-sphere or hypersphere. (I'm sure that in my younger days I could have stuck with this article to the end without my eyes glazing over. Sometimes I mourn parts of me that I have lost.)
ensorcell \in-SOR-suhl\ - bewitch, enchant
Chased to the dictionary by two separate BCS-related articles on one morning. Cool. (Who says following sports is a total waste of time?) This one makes sense from the shared root with sorcery.
