squared

Self-times-self result

Squared describes something multiplied by itself: three squared is nine.

In geometry, squared refers to right angles or rectangular shapes: squared corners, squared shoulders.

To get squared away is to get organized or settled.

If you're squared up with someone, you've settled accounts or are facing them directly, ready to fight or negotiate.
