Morphology

round + angle

The adjective 'round' (circle-shaped) plus 'angle' suggests an angle that forms a circle, so a learner who knows both words could plausibly infer a full-circle (360°) meaning. However, the phrase is somewhat technical and uncommon in everyday English, and the exact mapping to 360° requires mathematical convention rather than pure compositional meaning, so the relation is only partially predictable.

Etymology

Round angle paints the picture of an angle that goes all the way round, making a full turn back to its start. So, it means an angle of 360 degrees, a 'complete circle'.
