What does TOROID mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A ring- or doughnut-shaped surface or object, formed by rotating a closed curve around an axis outside it.
A toroid looks like the surface of a doughnut or an inflated inner tube, and mathematicians define it precisely as the shape swept out when a closed curve turns around a line it never touches. The word turns up often in electronics, where wire wound around a ring-shaped toroid core forms an efficient inductor or transformer. Outside technical writing, toroid is mostly used loosely for anything with that same closed-ring shape.
