faceted
Like cut gems
Faceted describes something with multiple flat surfaces, like a cut gemstone whose facets catch light from different angles.
The word extends to anything with distinct aspects or dimensions: a faceted personality, a faceted approach to the problem.
A faceted search lets users filter results by multiple categories simultaneously.
