Formed into a globe or spherical shape; rounded or ball-shaped.
From the verb beglobe (combining be- with globe), with the past participle -ed ending used as an adjective. Globe comes from Latin globus, meaning a round or spherical object.
The Latin word 'globus' is the root of 'globe,' 'global,' and 'globular,' and it originally meant a ball used in games. The Romans inherited it from an unknown source—it might be related to Proto-Indo-European words for 'lump' or 'ball.'
