quadrate
Rectangular or square
Quadrate means square or rectangular, or to make something square.
In anatomy, the quadrate bone is a roughly square-shaped bone in the skulls of birds, reptiles, and fish that connects the jaw to the cranium.
The term appears in technical contexts—geometry, anatomy, astrology—where it describes four-sided figures or relationships involving right angles.
The astrologer noted when planets were in quadrate aspect.
