The term is commonly used across disciplines to indicate shape rather than function.

Etymology: rundformede is formed from rund, meaning round, and formet, meaning shaped, with an ending that marks the attributive plural or descriptive form in Danish. The corresponding singular is rundformet. The term is neutral and primarily descriptive, used in Danish-language writing to classify physical form rather than material or function.
