What does OVOID mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Shaped like an egg; having a rounded, oval form that is more pointed at one end than the other.
Ovoid describes a three-dimensional shape or a flat outline that resembles an egg rather than a perfect circle or sphere, with one end noticeably narrower than the other. Biologists use ovoid to describe seeds, cells, and organs that share this shape, while designers and architects apply it to objects and buildings built around a similarly rounded silhouette. The word distinguishes an egg-like shape from a true oval, which stays symmetrical along its long axis instead of tapering at one end.
