The word obtuse It is used in our language to refer to various issues.
One of those many uses is to refer to that which does not have a point, that is, objects, elements that do not have a point are called obtuse. For example, when faced with a pencil or a blunt tool, one will speak in terms of obtuse.
Obviously, when an element should have a point and it does not present it because it was spent or due to any other situation, its effect or the utility it may have currently will be diminished. We should mention that it is also common that when a tool or utensil is blunt, it is spoken of in terms of a poll.
The opposite would be a pointy, sharp item.
On the other hand, the word obtuse is widely used to refer to athat person who is not able to understand anything or situation quickly and easily; Or it is also used a lot when a person can understand but becomes foolish because, for example, he does not agree with something and then he does not understand what he is told despite the fact that his position or idea is not correct but rather is the wrong one.
So, the word obtuse applied to a person can be used to indicate that he is clumsy and slow to understand or that he is a fool.
It is also worth noting that this sense has a highly pejorative use. Meanwhile, the other side would be talking about someone smart and clever.
In another area in which the term is widely used is in the math where it is used to name one of the angles that matter studies, the obtuse angle, which is characterized by measuring more than 90° but less than 180°. Let’s remember that the right angle measures 90°, the flat is flat and the oblique angle is called that precisely because its shape is not straight.
