domed
Curved on top
Domed means having a dome—a rounded, vaulted shape like half a sphere.
A domed ceiling curves overhead.
A domed stadium has a roof.
A domed forehead bulges gently outward.
The word describes anything with that characteristic rounded top: domed lids on serving platters, the domed caps of mushrooms.
