aquiline
Curved like beaks
Aquiline means eagle-like, from the Latin word for eagle.
The term almost always describes a nose that curves like an eagle's beak—prominent, with a convex bridge: his aquiline profile, an aquiline nose.
Rarely, aquiline describes other eagle-like qualities such as sharp vision or predatory bearing.
