X-shaped
Like intersecting diagonals
Shaped like the letter X—two lines or forms crossing diagonally at their midpoints.
An X-shaped intersection allows traffic from four directions.
The X-shaped support beams gave the structure stability.
Also describes arrangements where elements radiate from a central point: an X-shaped scar, X-shaped chromosomes.
