Morphology
The meaning 'a form or outline that bends smoothly' is directly and compositionally derived from 'curved' (bending smoothly) plus 'shape' (outline or form). This simple adjective+noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and fully predictable, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will understand the phrase.
Etymology
Curved shape comes from imagining a line that bends smoothly like a rainbow, as if a single point moves and changes direction to draw it. So curved (bending) plus shape (form) together mean a form that 'bends continuously' without sharp angles.
