ovary[ovary 词源字典]

ovary: [17] Latin ōvum ‘egg’ came from the same Indo-European base (*ōwo-) as produced English egg. From it were derived the medieval Latin adjective ōvāl is ‘egg-shaped’ (source of English oval [16]) and the modern Latin noun ōvārium (whence English ovary). Also from ōvum come English ovate [18] and ovulate [19], and the Latin noun itself was adopted as a technical term in biology in the early 18th century.
