The first dimension is a single row with multiple columns, each column with only one element. The second dimension adds multiple rows. What is a single row/column matrix as a unit? I was thinking that maybe the term "aisle" would work, using the analogy of theater seating. Then, when you extend rows and columns into the third dimension, you get multiple aisles.
If you look at Excel, you'll instantly come up with "Sheet". This also has a practical origin, as if you take a piece of paper, you can draw a table of 10 rows and 10 columns on it. If you photocopy that 10 times, you now have 10 sheets, each with 10 rows, each with 10 columns.
In 4d, they could draw "sheet tables" of 3 dimensions on swocks.
