Degree of Angle: Also known as
Degrees of angle are also referred to as sexagesimal measure.
See sexagesimal notation for further explanation.
Some sources use the terminology degree measure.
A degree of angle is also known as a degree of arc.
This term has a specific definition which is subtly different from the concept of a degree of angle, and so its use in this context on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ is discouraged.
