disk
Round storage medium
A disk is a flat, circular object—or something shaped like one.
The sun appears as a bright disk in the sky.
In anatomy, spinal disks cushion the vertebrae.
In computing, a disk stores data: hard disk, floppy disk.
The spelling disc is British and appears in specific terms like compact disc and disc brake, while disk dominates American usage and computing contexts.
