tes·sel·late (ts-lt)
tr.v. tes·sel·lat·ed, tes·sel·lat·ing, tes·sel·lates
To form into a mosaic pattern, as by using small squares of stone or glass.
[From Latin tesselltus, of small square stones, from tessella, small cube, diminutive of tessera, a square; see tessera.]
or from MerriamWebster here http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tessellation
so shapes such as hexagons and apple cores automatically tessellate.

The word "tessellate" means to form or arrange small squares in a checkered or mosaic pattern. The word "tessellate" is derived from the Ionic version of the Greek word "tesseres," which in English means "four." The first tilings were made from square tiles.
