curvedness

/ˈkɝvdnəs/ noun

The property of being curved.

Word Origin Curvedness is curve + -ed + -ness, the quality of being curved. Curve comes from Latin curvus 'bent, round,' and the PIE root *sker- also gives us curvature and curvy. The -ed makes it an adjective, and -ness turns it into a noun. So curvedness is the property of having a bend, like the graceful arc of a crescent moon.
