An oval, or ovoid, can also describe the egg shape, for its etymological origin is "egg" or ovum.

Is it gramatically correct ? Does it makes sense?

It looks good to me. I would insert a comma after "egg."

I would say "The word "oval" or "ovoid" can also etc." The oval itself can't describe anything. Laura's point is well-taken as well.

I'd switch the ending around:

for its etymological origin is "ovum" or egg. (The origin isn't "egg," it's "ovum," which means "egg.")

I think it's grammatically correct. Looks fine to me.
