ring-shaped
Like a doughnut
Ring-shaped describes something formed like a ring—circular with a hole in the center, like a donut or a tire.
The term applies to objects, structures, and patterns: ring-shaped molecules, a ring-shaped coral atoll.
In astronomy, ring-shaped nebulae and galaxies appear as luminous circles surrounding darker centers.
