Egg-shaped or oval in outline, with the broader end at the base.
Where the word comes from
From Latin *ovatus*, meaning "egg-shaped," derived from *ovum* (egg). The word entered English in the mid-1600s as a botanical and biological term to describe objects with an oval or egg-like form. The Latin root *ovum* itself comes from Proto-Indo-European *owyo-*, the same source that gave us "egg" in Germanic languages.
