Angulous

/ˈæŋɡjuːləs/ adjective

Definition

Having many angles or angular features; characterized by sharp corners and edges.

Etymology

From Latin 'angulus' (angle) with the English adjectival suffix '-ous' (full of). This form mirrors the pattern of other Latin-derived adjectives like 'nervous' or 'studious,' creating a standard English descriptor.

Kelly Says

Angulous and angulose are basically the same word—just two different ways English borrowed from Latin, like how we have both 'studious' and 'studious' representing slightly different preferences among scientists!
