squareness
Having four corners
Squareness is the quality of being square—having right angles and equal sides, or more abstractly, being properly aligned or true.
A carpenter checks the squareness of a frame.
Figuratively, squareness suggests old-fashioned conventionality or unfashionable straightness: His squareness made him seem out of place at the party.
The word can also describe fairness in dealings: the squareness of the arrangement.
