Compound of 'angle' and 'smith' (from Old English 'smið,' a metalworker). Similar in structure to 'blacksmith' or 'silversmith,' occupational terms from medieval times.

Kelly Says

Medieval smiths who created angle irons and braces were essential to building strong structures—before modern welding, the angles they forged into metal determined whether a bridge would hold or collapse.
