hexagonally
With six sides
Hexagonally describes arrangement or formation in a hexagon pattern—a six-sided shape where all sides and angles are equal.
The term appears most often in scientific contexts describing molecular or crystalline structures: The carbon atoms are arranged hexagonally in graphene.
Honeycomb cells are the classic example of hexagonally organized space, where the pattern maximizes storage while minimizing material.
