Morphology
toroid = torus (transparent) = toro + oid
Formed regularly from 'torus' + '-oid' meaning 'torus-like', so the relation is predictable for learners who know 'torus'.
Etymology
Toroid comes from torus ('round bulge' or 'cushion') and the ending -oid ('like'). So a toroid is 'like' a torus — a ring or doughnut shape, which is why we use the word for doughnut-shaped surfaces and cores.
