angled
UK: ˈæŋɡəld | US: ˈæŋɡəld
adj. having an angle or angles; not straight or curved uniformly
v. (past tense of angle) positioned or directed at an angle
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.

The report took an angled perspective on the issue.
His hat was angled playfully to one side.
