The word "angled" comes from the noun "angle", which originated from the Latin word "angulus", meaning "corner" or "angle". From there, it evolved into the Old English word "angul", which referred to a fishhook or a corner. Over time, the verb form "to angle" emerged, meaning to fish with a hook and line, which later developed into the more general sense of "to approach or position something at an angle". Thus, the adjective form "angled" is derived from the verb "to angle" and pertains to something that is positioned or inclined at an angle.
