hendeca-

Eleven.

Greek hendeka, eleven.

This form is rare, the only words at all met with being hendecasyllable, a line of verse containing eleven syllables; hendecagon, a plane figure with eleven straight sides and angles; and hendecahedron, a solid figure with eleven faces. Its Latin equivalent undeca‑ is often preferred.
