Word origin
The word 'rotund' has its origins in Latin, from the word 'rotundus' meaning round or spherical. Over time, it came to be used in English to describe both physical shapes and sounds with a full and round quality. The term has been in use for centuries and continues to be a popular descriptor in modern language.
