miter
Bishop's pointed hat
A miter is a joint where two pieces meet at an angle, typically 45 degrees, forming a corner: a miter joint in a picture frame.
A miter saw cuts such angles.
Separately, a miter is the tall ceremonial headdress worn by bishops and abbots, pointed at the top with two peaks.
As a verb, to miter is to join pieces at an angle or to bevel the edge of.
