Cardiform

/ˈkɑːrdɪfɔːrm/ adjective

Definition

Having a shape resembling a heart, especially the suit of hearts in playing cards.

Etymology

From Latin 'cardia' (heart) + 'forma' (shape, form), literally meaning 'heart-shaped'.

Kelly Says

The heart shape we love (♥) isn't actually anatomically accurate—real hearts are more complicated and lopsided, but the simplified cardiform shape became a universal symbol of love.
