Etymology

The term 'angularity' originates from the Latin word 'angulus', meaning 'corner' or 'angle'. This root reflects the essence of the term as it relates to geometric figures possessing distinct edges and vertices. The evolution of the word has seen its usage expand from pure geometry to include artistic and architectural contexts, where the angular design can invoke feelings of modernity and precision. The transition from Latin to Middle English introduced 'angle' and its derivatives, leading to the formation of 'angularity'. Over the centuries, as design philosophies evolved, the appreciation for angularity grew, often associated with movements that prioritize sharp lines and geometric forms over softer, rounded shapes. Today, 'angularity' is commonly referenced in discussions about aesthetics in various fields, including art, architecture, and product design.
