moonface
Plump, round countenance
Moonface describes a round, full face that resembles the shape of a full moon.
It often appears as a medical term for the facial swelling and roundness caused by conditions like Cushing's syndrome or prolonged corticosteroid use.
Outside clinical contexts, moonface can be a gentle or teasing description of someone with naturally chubby, circular features.
