Straight line joining any two non-adjacent corners of a polygon (8)

I believe the answer is:

diagonal

(Other definitions for diagonal that I've seen before include "Corner-to-corner line" , "bishop controls it" , "A straight line joining two opposite corners" , "Joining non-adjacent corners" , "Sloping line" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
