Geometric describes shapes made of straight lines, sharp angles, or regular curves — circles, squares, triangles — the kind of shapes you study in geometry class. A 'geometric pattern' on fabric or wallpaper uses these clean, regular shapes repeated in an way, which usually looks modern and tidy compared to a pattern with flowers or random curves. There is also a math phrase, 'geometric growth' or 'geometric increase,' meaning something grows by multiplying rather than just adding — growing very fast.
