"rotundus" meaning in Latin

See rotundus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /roˈtun.dus/ [Classical-Latin], [rɔˈt̪ʊn̪d̪ʊs̠] [Classical-Latin], /roˈtun.dus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [roˈt̪un̪d̪us] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Generally regarded as deriving from rotō (“turn, revolve”) or rota (“wheel”) + -undus. First attested in the works of Cato the Elder (circa 200 BC). It has also been suggested that the alternative form retundus, whence most of the Romance descendants derive, actually reflects the original Latin form (despite only being attested from the seventh century CE). If so, the first element would derive from an older *retō, from Proto-Indo-European *Hreth₂- (cf. Proto-Celtic *reteti), and the Classical rotundus would reflect later influence from rota (“wheel”).

First attested in the works of Cato the Elder (circa 200 BC).\nIt has also been suggested that the alternative form retundus, whence most of the Romance descendants derive, actually reflects the original Latin form (despite only being attested from the seventh century CE). If so, the first element would derive from an older *retō, from Proto-Indo-European *Hreth₂- (cf. Proto-Celtic *reteti), and the Classical rotundus would reflect later influence from rota (“wheel”).",
