rhomb

Slanted equal quadrilateral

A rhomb is a parallelogram with four equal sides—what geometry classes usually call a rhombus.

The angles need not be right angles; when they are, you have a square.

The tiles were arranged in a rhomb pattern.

The word appears more often in technical or older texts, with rhombus now dominant in everyday use.
