Morphology
The meaning 'a shape that is curved and has no sharp angles' is directly and compositionally built from 'round' (having a circular form) modifying 'shape' (outline or form). This simple ADJ+NOUN pattern is cross-linguistically common and immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Round shape shows a simple picture: round means curved and shape means the outline of something, like a circle or a ball with no sharp corners. So it is used to mean 'a shape that is curved and has no sharp angles'.
