What is another word for oval-shaped?
Pronunciation: [ˈə͡ʊvə͡lʃˈe͡ɪpt] (IPA) 
The word "oval-shaped" can be described with a variety of synonyms that effectively convey its shape. For example, "elliptical" is commonly used to describe an oval shape, while "ellipsoidal" emphasizes the softly curved, three-dimensional quality of the shape. "Ovoid" and "ovate" both refer to shapes that are similar to an egg, with one end being tapered and the other rounded.
