Angle

== English == === Etymology === Borrowed from Latin Anglus, in turn borrowed from a Germanic source (compare Old English Ængle/Engle (“Angle”)). Probably derived from the toponym Angle, related to Proto-Germanic *anguz "narrow, tight; tapering", either indicating the "narrow" water (i.e. the Schlei estuary), or the shape of the peninsula. Folk etymology linking the word to English angel or any antecedents is demonstrably false.(Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈæŋ.ɡəl/ Rhymes: -æŋɡəl === Noun === Angle (plural Angles) (historical) A member of a Germanic tribe first mentioned by Tacitus, one of several which invaded Britain and merged to become the Anglo-Saxons; an Anglian. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Translations ==== === Anagrams === Angel, Elgan, Galen, Lange, Legan, Nagle, agnel, angel, genal, glean, lenga == Latin == === Proper noun === Angle vocative singular of Anglus == Mauritian Creole == === Etymology === From French Anglais. === Noun === Angle (feminine Anglez) English person == Old English == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɑn.ɡle/, [ˈɑŋ.ɡle] === Proper noun === Angle m pl alternative form of Engle
