Disciform

/ˈdɪs.ɪ.fɔrm/ adjective

Definition

Etymology

From Latin discus (disk) + -form (shape or form), following the pattern of words like 'cruciform' (cross-shaped) and 'uniform' (one shape).

Kelly Says

The '-form' suffix is a shape-detective's best friend—it appears in 'uniforms' (shaped alike), 'cruciform' (shaped like a cross), and 'worm-form', instantly telling you something about an object's shape!
