giros

Early rotating-wing craft

Giros is the plural of giro, a system of electronic money transfer between banks or post offices, used especially in Britain and Europe: The benefits are paid by giro.

A giro is also a check or payment made through this system: waiting for the giros to arrive.

In American English, giros more often refers to multiple servings of gyro, the Greek meat sandwich—though that word is properly spelled gyros even in the singular.
