Domed

/doʊmd/ adjective

Definition

Having the shape of or covered by a dome; rounded and arched like the top of a sphere cut in half.

Etymology

From 'dome' (from Italian 'duomo,' cathedral) + past participle suffix '-ed'. Describes something shaped like the domes of Italian cathedrals.

Kelly Says

When you see 'domed,' think of the rounded roofs of grand buildings like the U.S. Capitol—domes are structurally efficient because they distribute weight evenly, which is why Romans loved them and we still use them today.
