Square means "90 degrees", so rectangles are square. They're just not "a" square.

It's the other way. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

Rect-angle, rectus-angle, right/proper-angle

Square has multiple meanings actually.

Your comment makes you sound square, for example.
