The word rotundnesses is derived from the noun rotundness, which is the state or quality of being rotund. Rotund is an adjective that dates back to the late 17th century and is believed to originate from the Latin word rotundus, meaning round or spherical. In English, rotund initially referred to something round or circular in shape but gradually evolved to describe a person or thing that is plump, well-rounded, or having a full figure. To pluralize rotundness, an es is added, resulting in rotundnesses.
