Etymology: < Latin convexus vaulted, arched, rounded, apparently an old past participle (= convectus ) of convehĕre to carry or bring together (because in forming an arch the extremities of the surface are brought together): in Latin convexus was sometimes used to include concavus : see B. 1c. By Milton stressed conˈvex, which is not infrequent with later poets.For a possible early use see convers n.

A. adj.

a. Curved like the outside of a circle or sphere; having a curvature that bulges toward the point of observation; the reverse of concave.
