Definition of frustum in English:

frustum

nounPlural frustums, Plural frusta ˈfrʌstəmˈfrəstəm

Geometry

The portion of a cone or pyramid which remains after its upper part has been cut off by a plane parallel to its base, or which is intercepted between two such planes.
Example sentencesExamples
- They only appear as frustums because they are being viewed at from an angle.
- An assessment task may ask students to devise a plan for determining the volume of the frustum of a pyramid (a task not previously considered in class).
- Depending mainly on the thicknesses of the members, the midplane splits one of the two members into two frusta, thus making a total of three frusta to analyse.
- There are formulas for frustums, but if you think about it, the calculations can be done by extending the frustum height to a vertex and then subtracting the ‘upper’ cone's values from the complete cone yielding the values for the frustum.

Origin

Mid 17th century: from Latin, 'piece cut off'.
