意味（1）

A zonohedron that has 14 faces (eight regular hexagons and six squares) and 36 edges and is an Archimedean solid.

The closest packing of truncated octahedra can be considered to be a denser packing than that of the rhombic dodecahedron because in a space filling array each truncated octahedron is surrounded by 14 others corresponding to its 14 faces, while the rhombic dodecahedron is only surrounded by 12 like cells.
