diagonal
Vertex to vertex
Diagonal describes a line or direction that runs at an angle between horizontal and vertical—connecting non-adjacent corners of a square or rectangle, for instance.
She drew a diagonal line across the page.
The noun refers to such a line or to movement in that direction: The bishop moves on the diagonal in chess.
Fabric cut on the diagonal runs at an angle to the weave.
