Ovine

"Ovine" is an adjective that refers to anything related to sheep. It originates from Latin "ovis," meaning sheep. For example, "ovine wool" describes wool taken from sheep. The term is commonly used in scientific, agricultural, and veterinary contexts to specify things associated with sheep, such as diseases, behavior, or products. In everyday language, you might simply say "sheep" instead of "ovine," but "ovine" provides a precise, technical way to describe attributes or items connected to sheep.
