mid 17th century: from modern Latin ovarium, from Latin ovum ‘egg’.
wiktionary
From New Latin ovarium, from Medieval Latin ovaria(“bird ovary”), from Latin ovum(“egg”). Doublet of ovarium.
etymonline
ovary (n.)
"that part of the female animal in which eggs are generated," 1650s, from Modern Latin ovarium "ovary" (16c.), from Medieval Latin ovaria "the ovary of a bird" (13c.), from Latin ovum "egg," from PIE *ōwyo‑, *ōyyo‑ "egg," which is perhaps a derivative of the root *awi- "bird." In classical Latin, ovarius meant "egg-keeper," but Thomson ("Autumn") used ovarious (adj.) for "consisting of eggs."
