I'm not a lexicographer, but I'd expect that it would be more useful on a site like this to avoid definitions that read like, "zoetragal: like or resembling a zoetrag." In this case, mentioning that a hendecagon is an eleven-sided plane figure would help, although I can't imagine this word is one too many people will look at.
