Also means
rotund, round
Usage Note
Rotundo most often describes a categorical, unambiguous response: a rechazo rotundo is a flat-out rejection, and a éxito rotundo is an unqualified success. The sense of physical roundness exists but is far less common in modern use. Do not confuse with English 'rotund,' which almost always refers to body shape.
Examples
"Dio una negativa rotunda a la propuesta."
Natural Translation
He gave a flat-out refusal to the proposal.
