It is a pointless object, a being that does not understand, that is of a mind closed to reasoning. We speak of an obtuse angle when said angle is about 90 degrees but does not exceed 180 degrees in length, that is, it does not become a right angle or a flat angle but remains between the two, it is related to mathematics and geometry. It is said that a person can be obtuse when he is unable to grasp the rules, that they have little mental ability or that he can become inflexible.
These people become archaic and upright in their thinking and do not accept another thought other than theirs, posing in an integral behavior in what they believe and that many times they can come to understand but without accepting, opposing it, an evolution of Thoughts that are mostly religious or modern in nature, although it is not the correct way to see things in the same way, are wrong, having a short perception of themselves, as knowing in their own criteria and do not give way to others, believing themselves that in his concept of knowledge is the best and most successful than the others, this being a basis of ignorance about the subject in question and little knowledge of it, since in many cases they are ineffective to recognize their few abilities and skills in something, making the treatment impossible, their state of consciousness being inevitable, going from being incompatible with others and may seem like children in their stubbornness.
The origin of the word comes from the Latin obtusus, alluding to not having a point or blunt, blunt, this word is used in a figurative sense since in its exact translation it is something like without a point, from the Latin "Obtundere" hence the most appropriate use in mathematics or geometry, making references to objects that do not have or do not have points; Either because they are like this or due to wear and tear they lost it, deteriorating the quality of the object or thus losing its usefulness for such cases are required.
