ángulo

/ˈanɡulo/ · B1 · noun · m

angle

📐 From Latin angulus, the same root as English angle; stress ÁN-gu-lo

Spanish kept the full Latin ending: angulus became ángulo, while English shortened it to angle. The accent mark puts the stress on the first syllable. Related words: triángulo (triangle) and rectángulo (rectangle).
