Doublet of szeg(“angle, projecting or protruding part”). Coined as a geometrical term by András Dugonics during the Hungarian language reform, which took place in the 18th–19th centuries, in the sense of Latinangulus. The term had already had a similar sense since early times, mostly in derivatives and as the second element of compounds referring to geometrical shapes.
