rounded
word · lemma: round
Definition
Having a curved or circular shape with no sharp angles. It can also mean something complete or well-balanced (like a 'well-rounded person').
Usage & Nuances
'Rounded' is used for both physical shapes (like stones, letters, furniture) and metaphorically for completeness or balance (e.g., 'well-rounded education'). Common error: do not confuse with 'round,' which is more about being circular, not having softened edges.
