Morphology

multiangular = angular (transparent) = multi + angle + ar

The word transparently combines 'multi-' with 'angular' to mean having many angles.

Etymology

Multiangular comes from multi- meaning 'many' and angle meaning 'corner', so it literally says 'many corners'. So, it describes something with many angles or sharp sides, like a building, pattern, or shape that has lots of corners.
