Zero change in location of eggs (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ovary

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'location of eggs' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'zero change' is the wordplay.
'zero' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'change' becomes 'vary' (synonyms).
'o'+'vary'='OVARY'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ovary that I've seen before include "Female organ in which eggs are produced" , "Egg producing organ" , "Egg-producing gland" , "egg supplier" , "(Human) egg producer" .)
