   Incurved can describe the contours or physical structure of an object.

Etymology of INCURVED

The word "incurved" has its origins in the Old French word "incurvé", which is derived from the Latin word "incurvare". "Incurvare" is a combination of the prefix "in-" (meaning "into" or "within") and the verb "curvare" (meaning "to curve" or "to bend"). In turn, "curvare" is derived from the Latin noun "curvus", meaning "curved" or "bent". The English word "incurved" retains the same meaning as its ancestors and refers to something that is curved or bent inward.
