IPA: /ˈæŋɡəlˌpɒd/
KK: /ˈæŋɡəlˌpɒd/
A type of plant found in the southern United States, known for its twisting growth and distinctive angled or winged seed pods.
The anglepod is often seen climbing along fences and trees in the southern gardens.
The word 'anglepod' is formed from 'angle' (from Latin 'angulus', meaning corner or angle) and 'pod' (from Greek 'pous', meaning foot). The term refers to a type of plant or organism that has a structure resembling an angle or corner and is supported by a foot-like base.
Think of 'angle' as a corner and 'pod' as a foot — together, they describe something that has a corner-like structure supported by a base.
