ovoid
Rounded but tapered
Ovoid means egg-shaped—rounded and slightly elongated, with one end broader than the other.
The term appears in scientific and technical contexts to describe three-dimensional forms: an ovoid tumor, ovoid fruits.
As a noun, an ovoid is any object with this shape.
The word overlaps with oval but emphasizes three-dimensionality rather than a flat ellipse.
