Etymology

The word angled derives from angle, which originates from the Latin angulus (corner), combined with the suffix -ed to form an adjective or past tense verb. The root angle has retained its geometric meaning ("space between intersecting lines") since Middle English, while -ed adds the sense of "having the quality of" or marks past action (e.g., "He angled the lamp"). The morphemes logically combine to describe something bent or positioned non-linearly.
