So curved as to suit me a lot (5)
I believe the answer is:
domed
'so curved' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives can occasionally mean the same thing.
'to suit me a lot' is the wordplay.
'to suit me' becomes 'dome' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a lot' becomes 'd'.
'dome'+'d'='DOMED'
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for domed that I've seen before include "cupola" , "with a meniscus" , "Shaped like rounded roof" , "Vaulted" , "not flat!" .)
