Apeirotope

An apeirotope is a polytope with infinitely many facets. The most common examples of these are tilings or honeycombs. This term almost always is used exclusively for polytopes with countably many facets, as any (strongly connected) polytope must have countably many elements.

The apeirogon is the unique connected apeirotopic polygon.

A polytope with finitely many elements may be called finite. Conversely, a polytope that isn't finite may be called infinite. Every apeirotope must be infinite, but not every infinite polytope is an apeirotope – an example might be the apeirogonal dihedron.
