About This Root
From Latin globus (ball, sphere, mass). Produces globe (the world as a sphere), global (worldwide), globalization (the process of becoming worldwide), and globular (spherical in shape). The metaphorical leap from a physical ball to the entire interconnected world gives this root its modern power — "global" now implies universal scope far beyond mere shape.
