Remarks 'angler', from Old English 'angle', i.e., fishing hook or fishing tackle, from Germanic 'angg-' (p. 26, Ref. 11979); 'black', from Old English 'blæc', of obscure origins but probably related to Latin 'flagrare' and Greek 'phlégein', i.e., burn, from Indo-European 'phleg-, bhleg-' (p. 65 in Ref. 11979).
