The answer would be:
its shape
its action

Pronator means that the muscle will be doing pronation movement. The pronation movement could happen in the hands and feet.
The word teres saying that its shape is round. The name doesn't contain a hint about the number(like bi-ceps or tri-ceps) or the location(like palmar or plantar).
