Cupolar

/ˈkjuːpələr/ adjective

Definition

Relating to, resembling, or having the form of a cupola; dome-shaped or characteristic of cupolas.

Etymology

From cupola + -ar (Latin suffix meaning relating to). This technical architectural adjective describes structures, shapes, or design elements with cupola-like qualities.

Kelly Says

Architects describe rooflines and structures as 'cupolar' to quickly convey a very specific shape—it's architectural shorthand that sounds fancy but really just means 'dome-ish'!
