What does ANGLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
The shape formed where two straight lines or surfaces meet at a point, measured as an amount of turn in degrees or radians.
In geometry, an angle is the shape formed where two straight lines or rays meet at a shared point called the vertex, and its size in degrees or radians describes how far one ray has turned away from the other. The same word names the particular position from which something is viewed or photographed, as when a photograph is taken from an unusual angle, and by extension a particular way of approaching a problem or telling a story. In fishing, to angle means to catch fish with a hook and line, an older sense that gave English the related word angler for someone who fishes this way. Used as a verb outside fishing, to angle for something means to pursue it through indirect or subtly manipulative means, such as angling for an invitation.
