rhomboid
Oblique-angled quadrilateral shape
A rhomboid is a parallelogram with oblique angles and adjacent sides of unequal length—like a rectangle that's been pushed sideways and stretched.
In anatomy, the rhomboid muscles connect the shoulder blades to the spine: My rhomboids are sore from rowing.
As an adjective, rhomboid describes anything with this diamond-like shape.
