doming

Arching upward gradually

Doming is a swelling or bulging outward into a dome shape.

The term appears in technical contexts—a battery doming from internal pressure, paint doming due to trapped moisture, or geological formations doming upward over millennia.

In crafts, doming means shaping flat metal into a curved form: She's doming the copper disc for a pendant.
