angulate
Form sharp corners
Angulate means having angles or being angled—describing something with sharp corners or bends rather than curves.
In biology, it characterizes organisms or structures with angular edges: angulate leaves, an angulate shell.
As a verb, to angulate is to make angular or bend at an angle: The surgeon angulated the instrument to reach the obstruction.
