Word origin

The word 'angle' originated from the Latin word 'angulus', meaning 'a corner'. In geometry, the concept of angles has been studied since ancient times, with contributions from mathematicians like Euclid and Pythagoras. The use of 'angle' to describe a perspective or point of view emerged in the 16th century, reflecting the idea of looking at things from a specific direction.
