Etymology of SHARPCORNERED

The word "sharpcornered" is a compound word formed by combining the words "sharp" and "cornered".

The etymology of "sharp" can be traced back to the Old English word "scearp" which meant "cutting, keen, or sharp". It is also related to the Middle Dutch word "scarp" and Middle Low German word "scharp".

On the other hand, "cornered" is derived from the noun "corner" which comes from the Old English word "cornere" meaning "angle, corner, or nook". It is connected to the Old High German word "korn" and Old Norse word "korn".

Therefore, "sharpcornered" essentially means having sharp or acute angles or corners, combining the qualities of being cutting or keen along with having distinct corners.
