Rotundity is the noun for that round, fat shape of a body — round fatness, said in a humorous, slightly old-fashioned way. If someone about a man’s rotundity, they mean his , circular figure, often with the same little smile as rotund. It is not a word you need at the shop or the clinic; it belongs to stories and playful description. You could, in careful English, use it for roundness in general, but will almost always meet it as this body word. The everyday way to say the same idea is just roundness, or a round, heavy shape.
圓胖、圓滾滾的體態(幽默、偏書面)。
組成From rotund + -ity, from Latin rotunditas.
