Etymology
'angolar' originates from Portuguese, specifically the word 'angolar,' ultimately formed from 'Angola' with the relational suffix '-ar', and used to name the Angolares people and their language.
'angolar' was borrowed into English from Portuguese in ethnographic and linguistic contexts and eventually became the modern English word 'angolar'.
Initially, it meant 'of or pertaining to Angola/Angolares' in Portuguese; in English it narrowed to refer specifically to the Angolares people and their creole language of São Tomé and Príncipe.
