shaped
Carved into existence
Shaped describes something that has been given a particular form, either literally or figuratively.
Clay is shaped into pottery; experiences shaped who you became.
With a modifier, it describes the form something takes: an L-shaped building, a pear-shaped body, heart-shaped chocolates.
To be in shape or out of shape refers to physical fitness, but shaped itself emphasizes the process or result of forming.
