Etymology

The term 'ovally' derives from the adjective 'oval', which comes from the Latin word 'ovalis'. 'Ovalis' is a derivative of 'ovum', meaning 'egg', because of the egg-like shape that the term describes. The use of 'oval' in English dates back to the 14th century, originally used in a geometric context related to shapes and figures. Over time, its application expanded in language to describe not only geometric shapes but also objects, patterns, and designs that resembled that distinctive oval form. As a result, 'ovally' emerged as an adverb in the English language to express the manner of being oval. The continued use of 'ovally' and its variations reflect the enduring influence of Latin on English vocabulary, especially in describing shapes and forms.
