Etymology

The word 'ovulation' originates from the Latin term 'ovulatio', which derives from 'ovulum', meaning 'little egg'. The prefix 'ov-' is related to the concept of eggs, as 'ovum' represents an egg in biological terms. Ovulation has been a documented phenomenon since ancient times, with historical references to the menstrual cycle and fertility observed in various cultures. The scientific understanding of ovulation has evolved significantly over time, particularly with the advancements in reproductive biology. In recent centuries, especially with the growth of medical science in the 19th and 20th centuries, the role of ovulation in reproduction became clearer, leading to better healthcare practices concerning womenโ€™s health and fertility management.
