動物身上的那一個
核心畫面直接落在身體上：裝著卵子的那個器官。
noun · B2
In a female animal or person, the organ that makes the eggs. In mammals there are usually two, and they also make hormones such as estrogen and progesterone.
卵巢
核心畫面
One way to hold this word: a small container inside a living body that keeps the eggs. Everything else is a detail of that picture — how many there are, what they release, and what the container itself turns into afterwards.

可以想成一個小小的容器，長在活的身體裡面，裡面裝著「蛋」。其他細節都掛在這個畫面上：有幾個、會放出什麼、它自己後來變成什麼。英文動物和植物共用同一個字，就是因為畫面一樣——都是「裝著新生命起點的那個部位」。中文分成卵巢和子房兩個詞，英文不分，這一點在閱讀時要靠上下文判斷。From the word’s history
The word goes back to Latin ovum, 'egg', through New Latin ovarium — literally the place where the eggs are.
這個字可以一路追到拉丁文 ovum（蛋），中間經過新拉丁文 ovarium。字面上就是「放蛋的地方」，跟今天的核心畫面幾乎重疊。

Two branches
花裡面的那一個
同一個畫面搬到花上面：位置在雌蕊底部，裝的是未來的種子。這是同一個字的借用，不是另一條來源。
