Zenzizenzizenzic is an obsolete form of mathematical notation representing the eighth power of a number, dating from a time when powers were written out in words rather than as superscript numbers. This term was suggested by Robert Recorde, a 16th-century Welsh physician, mathematician and writer of popular mathematics textbooks, in his 1557 work The Whetstone of Witte; he wrote that it "doeth represent the square of squares squaredly".
