'amblygon' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'amblygōnia,' where 'amblys' meant 'dull' and 'gōnia' meant 'angle.'

'amblygōnia' transformed into the Latin word 'amblygonium,' and eventually became the modern English word 'amblygon.'

Initially, it meant 'a triangle with a dull angle,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
