Angule

/ˈæŋɡjuːl/ noun

Definition

A small angle or a corner; an archaic or dialectal term referring to a small angular formation.

Etymology

From Latin 'angulus' meaning 'angle' or 'corner,' with the diminutive suffix suggesting 'little.' This rare English form is largely obsolete but survived in some technical or regional dialects.

Kelly Says

This word is basically the 'little angle' of Old English, like how 'pupil' has 'puppy'—it shows how languages create family relationships between words by making them smaller!
