  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Nucleolus  \Nu*cle"o*lus\,  n.;  pl  {Nucleoli}.  [L.,  a  little  nut, 
  dim.  of  nucleus.] 
  1.  A  little  nucleus. 
 
  2.  (Biol.)  A  small  rounded  body  contained  in  the  nucleus  of  a 
  cell  or  a  protozoan. 
 
  Note:  It  was  termed  by  Agassiz  the  entoblast.  In  the 
  protozoa,  where  it  may  be  situated  on  one  side  of  the 
  nucleus,  it  is  sometimes  called  the  endoplastule,  and 
  is  supposed  to  be  concerned  in  the  male  part  of  the 
  reproductive  process.  See  {Nucleus}.
