Egg cell (4)

I believe the answer is:

ovum

'egg cell' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ovum that I've seen before include "bit of life potentially" , "Reproductive cell, 'egg' in Latin" , "Female gamete" , "Female reproductive cell" , "A female egg-cell" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Penny Press, the USA Today, The Times, the Evening Standard and the LA Times.
