Curved shapes

BOWS

Think of what archers use or the decorative loops you tie on gifts—they both share this bent form.

"Curved shapes" points to "BOWS" because bows are objects that naturally form smooth, arched curves—think of a ribbon tied in a bow or the shape of a violin bow. The word doesn’t rely on wordplay here; it’s a straightforward definition where the answer fits the literal description. If you picture the loops and bends in a bow’s design, the connection becomes obvious.
