(dome)
rounded roof
Etymology
'domed' ultimately derives from the noun 'dome,' which comes via Italian 'duomo' (a cathedral) from Latin 'domus' meaning 'house'.
'dome' entered English from Medieval/Old French and Italian forms (compare Italian 'duomo'); the adjective/past form 'domed' developed as the regular past/past-participle and adjectival form of 'dome'.
Originally linked to 'house' or 'cathedral' (a building), the form shifted to denote the rounded roof or structure itself and then anything having that rounded shape.
