Circumvolute

/ˌsɜːkəmˈvɒljuːt/ adjective

Definition

Rolled up or coiled around; arranged in a spiral or circular pattern that winds around itself.

Etymology

From Latin circumvolutus, past participle of circumvolvere (circum- 'around' + volvere 'to roll'). Used in botany and anatomy to describe spiral or coiled structures.

Kelly Says

A nautilus shell is naturally circumvolute—each chamber is a perfect logarithmic spiral that grows larger while maintaining the same proportions, creating beauty from pure mathematics.
