The word canted is defined as something which is atilt. In other words, to be canted is to stand in such a position that the standing object appears to be tilted, leaning to one side or slanting and is not standing in an erect or straight position. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a famous monument in the city of Pisa in Italy. It is the best example of a canted structure.

Canted is another word which is similar in meaning to the word departed. This is because an object that is canted is departed or caused to depart from the actual erect position or the true position in which it is supposed to stand, be it the vertical or horizontal position.
Other synonyms of the word canted are oblique, leaning, tilted, tipped or inclined. An inclined plane is a common example of a canted surface, as it stands at an angle, either in the horizontal or vertical position.
