BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks for the word-by-word translation of ab ovo.
First, note that the phrase ab ovo is Latin. The literal components are 'ab' meaning 'from' and 'ovo' meaning 'egg.'
Regarding the provided answer, 'from the egg' directly reflects this literal translation, which is why it is correct.
Because the options are not listed in the prompt, we cannot analyze each one individually. However, in typical multiple-choice setups, common distractors might include ideas like 'from the womb' (which would be 'ab utero' in Latin) or 'from the beginning' (which is a figurative usage related to the idiom 'from the egg to the end,' but not a literal translation). Such distractors rely on confounding literal sense with metaphorical or related phrases, which is conceptually off for a word-by-word translation.
In summary, the exact, literal meaning of ab ovo is 'from the egg,' which aligns with the provided answer. Any option that claims a meaning involving the womb or a non-literal sense such as 'from the beginning' would be incorrect with respect to a direct translation.
