'almond-shaped' originates from the word 'almond,' which comes from Old French 'almande,' derived from Latin 'amygdala,' meaning 'almond.' The suffix '-shaped' is used to denote the form or appearance of something.

'almond' changed from the Old French word 'almande' and eventually became the modern English word 'almond.'

Initially, 'almond' referred to the nut, but over time, 'almond-shaped' evolved to describe objects or features resembling the nut's shape.
