1. 1

    Ovarian means “about the ovary.” The ovary is the small organ in a female body that stores and releases egg cells. You meet this word mainly in health and science: ovarian cancer, an ovarian , ovarian hormones. It is an adjective, so it sits in front of a noun; you do not say “she has ovarian” by itself. It is a medical word, not a café word. A biology student will see it often; everyday chat will probably just say “about the ovary” if it comes up at all. It is not the name of the organ, and it is not oval (a shape), even though the letters look close.
