Etymology
Rectangular comes from Latin rectus meaning 'straight' or 'right' and angulus meaning 'corner', and you can see the same idea in the simple word rectangle. So something rectangular has straight sides and 'right' corners like the corner of a book, which is why the word means 'having right angles'.
