Etymology of OCTANGLE

The word "octangle" is a combination of two elements: "octa-" and "-angle".

1. "Octa-" is derived from the Greek word "oktṓ", which means "eight". This prefix is commonly used to indicate the number eight in various words, like "octagon" (a polygon with eight sides), "octopus" (marine animal with eight arms), and "octave" (a musical interval spanning eight notes).

2. "-angle" is rooted in the Latin word "angulus", which translates to "corner" or "angle". This suffix is attached to words related to geometric figures to denote their shape or form, such as "triangle", "rectangle", and "pentagon".
