oval

'here of course' is the definition.
'oval' can be an answer for 'course' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'here of' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oval that I've seen before include "Shape of 25" , "Curved shape" , "Race track" , "London cricket ground" , "Rounded like an egg" .)
