rounder

Less angular shape

A rounder is someone who makes rounds—a person who travels a regular circuit, whether a doctor visiting patients or a drunk making the rounds of local bars.

In American usage, rounder often carries a disreputable connotation: a habitual gambler, drinker, or petty criminal who frequents certain establishments.

He was a rounder who knew every card room in town.

In baseball, rounders is a British bat-and-ball game ancestral to the American sport.
