Etymology 3[edit]
From a shortening of German Zahlring (“number(s) ring”) (coined by German mathematician David Hilbert in 1892).[1] Apparently first used in English in 1930, E. T. Bell, “Rings whose elements are ideals,” Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society.[2]

Noun[edit]
ring (plural rings)

- The set of integers, , is the prototypical ring.
- (algebra) An algebraic structure as above, but only required to be a semigroup under the multiplicative operation, that is, there need not be a multiplicative identity element.
