Definition
To bend or curve something into a rounded shape.
Etymology
From Latin 'curvatus,' past participle of 'curvare' (to bend). The '-ate' ending is a common verb suffix in English derived from Latin verb forms.
Kelly Says
In biology and architecture, 'curvate' is the action verb—while 'curved' describes the end result, 'curvate' describes the active process of shaping something into a curve.
