An oval is a “flattened circle” shape however, it’s not even on all sides compared to an ellipse which is symmetrical.
- English (US)
in casual use, most would say they are the same thing.
in official terms, though both are more elongated than a true circle, the elipse is laterally symmetrical, while the oval has a wider end and a narrower/pinched end. oval is related to "egg-shaped" in Latin, and eggs have similar non-symmetrical features.
