A straight line connecting opposite angles in a polygon (8)

I believe the answer is:

diagonal

(Other definitions for diagonal that I've seen before include "Line connecting two nonadjacent corners of a rectangle" , "On a slope" , "Oblique line" , "Straight line on a slant" , "straight line from corner" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
