sloped
Not quite level
Sloped describes a surface that angles up or down rather than lying flat: a sloped roof, sloped terrain.
The word often appears in compound forms like gently sloped or steeply sloped to indicate degree.
As a past tense verb, sloped means moved at an angle or departed casually: The path sloped downward toward the river, He sloped off before anyone noticed.
