Bearing or producing chalazae, which are the twisted cord-like structures in an egg that hold the yolk in place.
From Greek 'chalaza' (hail, small lump) + Latin '-ferous' (bearing). The term developed in embryology to describe structures that carry or contain chalazae.
Eggs have two chalazae that act like biological shock absorbers, keeping the yolk centered and protected—they're why egg white is organized into chambers rather than being uniform throughout!
