Definitions

  1. Round, plump, full-sounding, or rounded in form.

Word origin

Learned borrowing from Latin rotundus (“round”), from Latin rota (“wheel”), from Proto-Indo-European *Hreth₂- (“to run, to roll”). Doublet of round.

Used in a sentence

  • He was a plump little man and we had been walking uphill at a pace—set by him—far too rapid for his short legs. He breathed stertorously, and half the drops which glimmered on his rotund face were not rain but sweat.
  • Convex preferences may have indifference curves that exhibit “flat spots,” while strictly convex preferences have indifference curves that are strictly rotund.
