transcription, транскрипция: [ /broh'k*t/ or /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 .)
