OBS

«khi» : Appellation, en grec ancien, de la lettre grecque «x» en minuscule et «X» en majuscule. De nos jours, on rencontre fréquemment l'écriture chi; dans les deux cas on prononce «ki».

OBS

Dans «x2», le chiffre 2 se place en exposant.

OBS

Comme l'adjectif «carré» remplace «exposant deux», nous ne croyons pas qu'il soit juste de mettre un trait d'union entre ce dernier et «khi» (ou «chi»).
