Etymology

The word 'sphered' is derived from the Middle English term 'sfer', which comes from the Old French word 'sphère', and is linked to the Latin 'sphaera' and the Greek 'sphaira', meaning 'ball' or 'sphere'. The word relates to the ancient Greek understanding of geometry and the significance of spherical shapes in architecture and art. In classical philosophy, spheres were often associated with perfection and the divine, representing an ideal form that was complete and unblemished. The use of 'sphered' in modern contexts applies this historical significance to describe objects or concepts that represent roundness and balance.
