Kangsti

Kangsti is a rarely used, archaic English word. It is believed to be a variant of "cant," referring to a slant, slope, or a sudden, sharp turn. Its usage appears almost exclusively in older texts, particularly in nautical contexts describing the angle of a ship or other object. The exact etymology is debated, with possible connections to various Germanic roots relating to turning or angling. While largely obsolete in modern English, its meaning is understandable given the broader semantic range of its root word, "cant." Kangsti is not a commonly recognized or used word in contemporary vocabulary.
