1. 1凸性;凸面(向外凸出)

    When something is convex, it curves out towards you — like the outside of a ball, or the front of your eye. Convexity is that outward curve, or the fact of having it. You meet the word most in maths, science, and design: a convex lens is thicker in the middle and can bring light together; a convex mirror bulges out and makes things look smaller. The everyday opposite is a hollow, bowl-like curve. Though actually, specialists also stretch convexity onto graphs and even onto money maths, where it names how a line or a price bends — still the same “curves out” picture, just drawn on paper. For most , the physical shape is the meaning that matters, and it is a calm, technical word, not an everyday one.

組成convex (curved outwards) + -ity (Latin -itās through French -ite: turns an adjective into a noun meaning “the quality of being that way”).
