Curvey

/ˈkɜːrvi/ adjective

Definition

A non-standard or informal spelling of 'curvy'; having many curves or rounded features.

Etymology

Variant spelling of 'curvy' from 'curve' + '-y' (adjective-forming suffix). This spelling appears in informal writing and older texts.

Kelly Says

This misspelling is so common it's almost become acceptable in casual writing—'curvey' instead of 'curvy'—showing how spelling naturally evolves in everyday language!

Ethical Language Guidance

Gender History

Variant spelling of 'curvy,' which emerged as a feminized descriptor. Like 'curvy,' it carries expectations of sexualized body shapes, particularly marketed toward women.

Inclusive Usage

Restrict to geometric or botanical contexts. For people, use only when shape is objectively relevant (fit testing, body measurement) and apply gender-neutrally.

Inclusive Alternatives

["curved","rounded","contoured"]
