obtuse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sort of angle' is the definition.

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for obtuse that I've seen before include "Blunt - stupid - insensitive" , "Blunt, dull-witted" , "(Of angle) between 90deg and 180deg - dull" , "Insensitive - more than a right angle" , "not acute?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
