'anglepod' originates from English, formed from 'angle' and 'pod', where 'angle' refers to a bend or corner and 'pod' means a seed vessel.

'anglepod' was coined in English to describe the plant's angled or bent seed pods, and has been used in botanical contexts since the 19th century.

Initially, it referred specifically to plants with angled seed pods, and this meaning has remained consistent in modern usage.
