broket: /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.)
