In a manner related to angles; from the perspective of angles, or in a way that considers or emphasizes angular relationships and geometry.
Compound of 'angle' and 'wise' (from Old English 'wīse,' meaning manner or way). The '-wise' suffix creates adverbs describing a particular direction, manner, or perspective.
The '-wise' suffix is sneaky—'clockwise' and 'counterclockwise' actually come from the same root as 'anglewise,' and they all describe direction or manner, showing how English reuses patterns to build new words.
