toruses

Hollow circular solids

Toruses is the plural of torus, a doughnut-shaped surface or solid generated by rotating a circle around an axis that doesn't intersect it.

The term appears mainly in mathematics and geometry: The professor drew several toruses on the board.

In architecture and design, a torus is a convex molding with a semicircular cross-section.

The Latinate plural tori is also used.
