Shaped like a globe or sphere; round and bulbous, especially used in botany and zoology.
From Latin 'globosus', derived from 'globus' (sphere), with the adjectival ending '-ose' (meaning 'full of' or 'having the quality of').
In plant classification, a 'globose fruit' like an orange or apple is perfectly round because that shape minimizes surface area while maximizing the space inside for seeds—evolution optimized this geometry!
