angle
Significado: The space between two lines that meet; a particular perspective
The word 'angle' refers to the space between two lines or surfaces that meet at a point, measured in degrees. It also means a particular way of looking at something or a point of view. Journalists look for a new angle on a story, and someone 'angling for' something is trying to get it indirectly.
