Plural of angulare; angular structures or parts, particularly in anatomy and zoology.
The Latin plural form of 'angulare,' preserving the classical Latin plural ending '-ia.' Used in scientific nomenclature to refer to multiple angular elements.
This plural shows how scientific Latin was still living and changing in the 1800s—scientists needed ways to talk about multiple versions of the same anatomical structure, so they used traditional Latin plurals.
