cuboid

Six-faced rectangular prism

A cuboid is a three-dimensional rectangular shape—a box with six flat faces, all at right angles.

In geometry, it's distinguished from a cube by having sides of unequal length: a rectangular cuboid.

In anatomy, the cuboid is a bone on the outer edge of the foot, roughly cube-shaped.

As an adjective, cuboid describes anything cube-like in form.
