I've tried a few dictionaries without success.

I think "half-round" is also perfectly okay--who would be confused by that?

We can make the door & frame arched or just the frame.

"PALLADIAN" A generic term for the form characterized by a round-arched opening usulally flanked by narrower, square-top openings beyond slender mullions. In the manner of Andrea Palladio, an Italian architect of 1518-1580.
