unrounded

/ʌnɹˈaʊndᵻd/ adj

Not rounded.

Word Origin From Latin 'rotundus' (round, circular) — round came into English via Old French. Unrounded means not rounded, often used in phonetics for vowels pronounced without rounded lips. The rotundus root also gives us rotund, rotate, and rotor, all from the PIE *ret- meaning 'to run, roll.' So unrounded is literally 'not rolled.'
