Can someone tell me what an "n-gon" is? My maths keeps mentioning it and I don't understand what it's talking about.

For example, it says "The sum of the exterior angles of an n-gon, one at each vertex, is 360°. Whatever number of sides the polygon has, the sum of the exterior angles is always 360°."
