n. Deviation from perfect circular or spherical form toward elliptic or ellipsoidal form.

n. The degree of this deviation.

n. The condition of being elliptical (flattened from perfect circular or spherical form)

n. A measure of this flattening that is a function of the ellipse's equatorial and polar radii

n. Deviation of an ellipse or a spheroid from the form of a circle or a sphere; especially, in reference to the figure of the earth, the difference between the equatorial and polar semidiameters, divided by the equatorial; thus, the ellipticity of the earth is 1/29966.

n. The quality of being elliptic; the degree of divergence of an ellipse from the circle; specifically, in reference to the figure of the earth, the difference between the equatorial and polar semi-diameters divided by the equatorial: as, the ellipticity of the earth is .

n. the property possessed by a round shape that is flattened at the poles

"AFAIU the ellipticity of an egg is due to the pressures from the surrounding egg canal in which it is transported in during its assembly."
