Is it heptic or septic?

Septic: causing, or resulting from, sepsis or putrefaction

Hmmm... let's assume you mean something else.  Go with heptic. ;-)

Both terms have been used to describe degree 7 polynomials (or objects
somehow associated with degree 7 polynomials).  "Septic" seems to be
more common.  (For example, TonyB and I referred to a septic in some
