"Angle" meaning in English

See Angle in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈæŋ.ɡəl/ Forms: Angles [plural]
Rhymes: -æŋɡəl Etymology: Borrowed from Latin Anglus, in turn borrowed from a Germanic source (compare Old English Ængle/Engle (“Angle”)). Probably derived from the toponym Angle, related to Proto-Germanic *anguz "narrow, tight; tapering, angular", either indicating the "narrow" water (i.e. the Schlei estuary), or the "angular" shape of the peninsula. Folk etymology linking the word to English angel or any antecedents is demonstrably false.
