Female reproductive cell (4)

I believe the answer is:

ovum

'female reproductive cell' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ovum that I've seen before include "A female egg-cell" , "Female gamete" , "Human egg cell" , "bit of life potentially" , "Female reproductive cell" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Guardian.
