bulbousness
Swollen, rounded shape
The quality of being bulbous—rounded, swollen, or shaped like a bulb.
Often describes noses, eyes, or organic forms with prominent curves: the bulbousness of his nose, the bulbousness of the onion domes.
The word carries mild comic potential, its sound echoing the roundness it describes.
