Multangled

Part of speech: adjective

Definitions

1. Having many angles, corners or sides, as in a shape with numerous points where lines meet
2. Describing an object or figure that is shaped with several angular corners rather than smooth curves
3. Possessing multiple corners or angled faces, typically referring to a polygon or a similarly irregular form

Etymology: "Multangled" describes something with many angles or corners. It is built from "multi-", from Latin "multus," meaning "many," and "angled," from "angle." English borrowed "angle" from Latin "angulus," meaning "corner," and the word reached English through Old French. The Latin "angulus" also gave English "angular," which is the more common adjective for the same idea. "Multangled" follows the same pattern as "multangular," with the ordinary English participle "-ed" in place of the Latin-derived "-ular." Its meaning stays literal: a shape or figure with several sides and corners.
