“In this way, systematic terminology could be developed. Using the term ‘zenzic’ to denote squaring, ‘cubic’ for cubing, and sursolids as described above, Recorde could concisely combine these to form terms for other powers. For example, e.g. the square of squares, or ‘zenzizenzic’, would be 𝑥⁴, and the square of cubes, or ‘zenzicubic’ would be 𝑥⁶. This could be extended to such joys as the term for a sixteenth power, described as a ‘square of squares, squaredly squared’, pleasingly known as the zenzizenzizenzizenzic.”
