Noun
frustum (plural frustums or frusta)
A cone or pyramid whose tip has been truncated by a plane parallel to its base.
A portion of a sphere, or in general any solid, delimited by two parallel planes.
Usage notes
The misspelling frustrum is by incorrect analogy with frustrate, also of Latin origin.
• (portion of a sphere): The portion of the surface of a sphere delimited by parallel planes (i.e, the curved surface of a frustum) may be called a zone; however, that term is also sometimes used as a synonym of frustum.
