globularity
State of roundness
Globularity is the quality of being globe-shaped or spherical.
The term appears in technical contexts—geology, biology, astronomy—where the roundness of objects matters: The globularity of red blood cells affects how they flow through capillaries.
More abstractly, it can describe any tendency toward spherical form.
