canted

“slope, slant,” late 14c., Scottish, “edge, brink,” from Old North French cant “corner” (perhaps via Middle Low German kante or Middle Dutch kant), from Vulgar Latin *canthus, from Latin cantus “iron tire of a wheel,” possibly from a Celtic word meaning “rim of wheel, edge” (cf. Welsh cant “bordering of a circle, tire, edge,” Breton cant “circle”), from PIE *kam-bo- “corner, bend,” from root *kemb- “to bend, turn, change” (cf. Greek kanthos “corner of the eye,” Russian kutu “corner”).
