Tesselate (also Tessellate) (adj)
tes-e-layt
to form of small squares or blocks, as floors or pavements; form or arrange in a checkered or mosaic pattern.
Tessellate “to form of small squares” comes from Latin tessellātus “mosaic,” based on tessella “small square stone or cube.” The Latin noun tessella is a diminutive of tessera, a small piece used in mosaic work that often has four sides, which comes from Ionic Greek tésseres “four.”
Example sentences
“The pattern tessellates out to the egdes of the floor.”
