multi-layer
Having multiple strata
Multi-layer describes something composed of several distinct layers or levels.
The term appears in technical contexts—multi-layer circuit boards, multi-layer packaging—where materials are stacked for specific functions.
It also describes complex systems: multi-layer security, multi-layer authentication.
Often hyphenated, though multilayer appears as well.
