"Ovulist" is a word in ENGLISH
A believer in the theory (called encasement theory),
current during the last century, that the egg was the real animal germ,
and that at the time of fecundation the spermatozoa simply gave the
impetus which caused the unfolding of the egg, in which all generations
were inclosed one within the other. Also called ovist.
