Curved or bent in a bow shape; having the form of an arch or bow.
Compound of bow (curved shape) plus bent (curved). This descriptive term combines two words for curvature to emphasize the bow-like appearance of something.
This is a wonderful example of English's flexibility—when one word for 'curved' isn't emphatic enough, we can smash two together! Old English speakers loved this kind of double description ('long-and-tall,' 'high-and-mighty').
