Etymology
Unghi comes from Latin angulus, meaning angle or corner. Romanian inherited the word directly from spoken Latin, and the initial vowel shifted from a to u, a change seen in other inherited words. The term stayed close to its original sense and became the standard word for a geometric angle. English angle is a distant relative, since both words descend from the same Latin root.
