Latin term for a corner or angle; used in anatomy and science to denote an angular process or corner of a structure.
From Latin 'angulus' meaning 'corner' or 'angle,' related to the root meaning 'narrow.' This term is still used directly in scientific nomenclature, particularly in anatomy and geometry.
Scientists still use 'angulus' directly (like 'angulus oris' for the corner of the mouth) because Latin is the universal language of anatomy—it means everyone from Tokyo to Toronto knows what structure you're talking about!
