Uncurved

Part of speech: adjective

Definitions

1. lacking any form of curvature or bend, resulting in a straight and linear appearance that maintains uniformity throughout the shape
2. defined by a complete absence of curves or arcs, exhibiting a straight and unbending quality across its entirety
3. Having a shape that remains straight without any bending or rounded parts

Etymology: "Uncurved" is a plain formation: the prefix "un-", meaning "not", attached to "curved," the past participle of "curve." The adjective is therefore simply "not curved," and its meaning follows directly from its parts. "Curve" itself came into English from Latin "curvus," meaning "bent" or "crooked," which is also the source of words like "curvature." Adding "un-" to a participle like this is a common English pattern, used to describe things that lack a quality that might otherwise be expected, such as "unbent" or "unfolded."
