History
Etymology
PIE word *h1óh3s Learned borrowing from Latin ōre rotundō (“with a round mouth; hence, clear; loud”), from ōre (the ablative singular of ōs (“mouth”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h1óh3s (“mouth”)) + rotundō (“to make round”) (from rotundus (“circular, round”) (possibly from rota (“wheel”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *Hreth2- (“to run”)) + -undus (suffix forming adjectives)) + -ō (suffix forming first-conjugation verbs)). Doublet of orotund.
