Not Quite a Cube

[nq:1]Is there a word for a rectilinear solid whose faces are not all square (in other words, a stretched or elongated cube)?[/nq]
rectangular parallelepiped, although I have a feeling that's not what you want ;-)

would "cuboid" be OK?

Not a single word, but the expression "right rectangular prism" takes care of the required characteristics without adding any extra ones...cubes are still included but as a special case..r

"Rectangular prism." Google Images gives pictures for that such as:

This one must have a square as its base (although I'm not sure about it). A cuboid is any solid with all the faces rectangular (hence they must be also rectilinearly placed).

I learned that as a "right rectangular parallelepipid". MWCD10 defines "parallelepipid" as
a 6-faced polyhedron all of whose faces are parallelograms lying in pairs of parallel planes
I suspect that "rectangular" referred to the faces on the ends of the lon

'rectilinear' can be defined as 'characterised by straight lines' and in that sense there are many rectilinear solids, not all of which are stretched cubes. Pyramids, prisms and regular icosahedrons are all in there.

Cuboid in any case, Rectangular Prism only if at least two faces are squares, Cube only if all faces are squares.
