The word angle comes from the Latin word angulus, meaning "a corner". The word angulus is a diminutive, of which the primitive form, angus, does not occur in Latin. Cognate words are the Latin angere, meaning "to compress into a bend" or "to strangle", and the Greek ἀγκÏλος (ankylοs), meaning "crooked, curved"; both are connected with the PIE root *ank-[Slocum, Johnathan. (2007), "2: ank-, ang- [to bend, bow]"], meaning "to bend" or "bow".
