A combining form or element used in scientific terminology related to angles or vessels, from Latin and Greek roots.
From Latin 'angulus' (angle) with possible Greek influence. Used as a prefix in scientific nomenclature to indicate angularity or corner-like structures.
In geology and mineralogy, scientists use 'angilo-' to describe crystals and rock formations with sharp corners and edges—it's like a linguistic way of saying 'pointy' that sounds much more scientific in a lab report.
