$\begingroup$ I think I have an answer but it has ten letters rather than nine. Is that possible? $\endgroup$– hexominoCommented Dec 4, 2022 at 0:05

You are looking for the word
OPERATORS!
Explanation: Let's take the image of X's:
Overlay the provided shapes:
Identify any X's that are NOT corners (non-corny), that is, they are not under a corner of any shape:
Then let's play "connect the dots" in each of the 4 shapes:
And we have just drawn the
4 basic mathematical OPERATORS, + / x and -, the 9 letter term which must be the final answer!
