Morphology
The noun phrase is fully compositional: 'equiangular' (all angles equal) directly modifies 'triangle' (three-sided figure), so a learner who knows both words can infer that it is a triangle with equal angles. Although technical, the adjective+noun structure follows regular English and similar formations exist across languages, making the meaning transparent to learners who know the constituents.
Etymology
Equiangular triangle comes from the parts equi meaning 'equal' and angular meaning 'angle', and it paints a picture of a triangle with all three corners the same. That's why it means a triangle whose three interior angles are equal, each measuring 60 degrees.
