broket: /broh´k@t/, /broh´ket`/, n. [rare; by analogy with ‘bracket’: a ‘broken
bracket’] Either of the characters < and
>, when used as paired enclosing delimiters. This
word originated as a contraction of the phrase ‘broken
bracket’, that is, a bracket that is bent in the middle. (At MIT,
and apparently in the Real World as well, these are
usually called angle brackets.)
