orbicular

Shaped like sphere

Orbicular means circular or spherical—having a rounded form.

The word appears most often in technical contexts: botanists describe orbicular leaves as nearly circular, and anatomists refer to the orbicular muscle around the eye.

In general use, it's a formal or literary alternative to round: the orbicular face of the moon.
