On which axis is FOV measured?

When looking at specifications for HMD, some say they are 42 degree fov, or 80" equivalent at 7' or whatever - On which axis is this measured? Is it horizontal or vertical, or diagonal?
I'm going to guess diagonal as this would give the biggest number for marketing purposes, however if i draw a box and hold it the right distance for my eye for that view size, it doesnt seem to match up with how big the picture looks when i'm wearing goggles. Am i missing something?
