The term "rectangle" comes from the Latin words "rectus," meaning "right," and "angulus," meaning "angle." This nomenclature reflects the defining characteristic of a rectangle: it has four right angles (90 degrees). The prefix "rect-" indicates the right angles, while "-angle" denotes the shape's angular nature. Thus, a rectangle is fundamentally defined by its right angles.
