直ちょっ角かくN2sense 2
直角 refers to a 90-degree angle itself, whereas 垂直 describes the perpendicular relationship between two lines or surfaces.
直ちょっ下か
垂直 describes a vertical or perpendicular angle/direction in general, whereas 直下 specifically means being positioned below or falling straight down, so the two overlap in meaning but aren't interchangeable.

From 垂 (hanging down) and 直 (straight). The combination conveys the idea of a straight line hanging down, i.e., vertical.
