Morphology

angledozer = angle + dozer (transparent) = angle + dozer

Meaning is directly derived from the modifier 'angle' + 'dozer' to indicate a dozer with an angled blade, which a B1 learner can infer from the components.

Etymology

Angledozer joins angle ('slanted') and dozer, short for bulldozer ('a machine that pushes earth'). So an angledozer is a bulldozer with its blade set to one side to push earth to the side.
