globulose

Globulose refers to a shape or form that is spherical or nearly spherical. The term is often used in biological and geological contexts to describe the appearance of certain structures. In biology, for instance, globulose cells are those that have a round or ball-like shape. Similarly, in geology, minerals or formations may be described as globulose if they exhibit a rounded or globular morphology. The etymology of the word comes from the Latin "globulus," a diminutive of "globus," meaning a small ball or sphere. While not a precise scientific term in all fields, it serves as a descriptive adjective to convey a roundness or ball-like characteristic.
