Morphology
curviform = curve (transparent) = curvi + form
The adjective is readily analyzable as 'curvi-' (curved) + the suffix '-form' meaning 'having the form of', so the meaning follows directly from the base.
Etymology
Curviform combines curve, from Latin curvus, 'bent', and form, 'shape'. So, curviform simply means having a 'bent' or curved shape.
