Morphology

ovular = ovum (transparent) = ovum + ar

Formed from the noun 'ovum' plus '-ar', so 'relating to an ovum' is directly predictable.

Etymology

The word ovular comes from the Latin ovum 'egg'. This is the same root you see in English words like ovary and oval, so ovular means 'relating to an egg cell'.
