Surface Forms

roundup singular
roundups plural

Morphology

roundup = round + up (semi-transparent) = round + up

Derived from 'round up' meaning 'collect', but applied metaphorically to items of information rather than physical objects.

Etymology

Roundup comes from the parts round ('go around') and up ('bring together'), like collecting things into one place. So a roundup of news or facts is a short list or summary that brings items together.
