Globed

/ɡloʊbd/ adjective

Definition

Shaped like or formed into a globe; spherical or rounded in appearance.

Etymology

From globe + '-ed' (having the quality of). A simpler form than 'globate', describing the spherical shape.

Kelly Says

Old maps of the world were printed on 'globed' surfaces—actual hanging globes suspended by fancy stands—which is why we still call a sphere model of Earth a 'globe' instead of just a 'ball'!
