globularity

/ɡlˌɑbjʊlˈæɹᵻɾi/ noun

The state of being globular.

Word Origin From Latin globus 'ball, sphere' — globularity is the quality of being ball-shaped. The same root gives us globe, globule (a little ball), and even globetrotter (one who trots around the globe). The PIE root *gel- meant 'to form into a ball,' which also gives us glomerate (gathered into a ball). You can almost see the roundness in the word.
