Etymology
The term 'ovulate' comes from the Latin word 'ovulum', which means 'small egg'. The concept of ovulation was first introduced in the early 20th century, as scientists began to understand the female reproductive cycle in greater detail. Prior to this, the process and its importance for fertility were not well understood. With advancements in medical science, ovulation is now recognized as a critical stage in the reproductive cycle, informing both medical practices and personal family planning. Understanding ovulation has also led to the development of various fertility tracking methods and ovulation predictor kits that assist women in identifying their fertile days.
