Bread, Sourdough Round

sor-dough ROUND · n.

1. A leavened bakery product of notable circumference, characterized by its robust crust and chewy interior, usually presented as a complete spherical unit; esp. one that, when viewed in profile, casts a shadow of considerable ambition.

2. colloq. Industrial-grade bread that refuses to fit in any standard bread box without asserting its dominance.

Etymology. From Old English 'breād', referring to a piece of bread, and from Middle English 'sour' plus 'dough', referring to the fermentation process used in its creation. The word 'round' speaks for itself, like this loaf.
