camelback
Dromedary's curved spine
Camelback describes something shaped like a camel's hump—rising and falling in a distinctive curve.
A camelback sofa has a curved back that peaks in the center.
Camelback locomotives had a cab positioned over the boiler's hump.
In compounds, the shape dominates: camelback bridge, camelback roof.
The word also appears in place names, typically for hills or ridges with humped profiles.
