catty-cornered
Across the corner
Catty-cornered means positioned diagonally, especially across an intersection or from one corner to another: The pharmacy is catty-cornered from the bank.
The word has spawned many regional variants—kitty-corner, catercorner, catty-corner—all descended from an old word meaning "four." American English, informal.
