Learned borrowing from Medieval Latin ānnulus, a misspelling of Latin ānulus (“ring, especially one worn on a finger”), from ānus (“ring”) (possibly from Proto-Indo-European *h1eh2-n-o- (“ring”), from an uncertain root) + -ulus (diminutive suffix). The plural form annuli is a learned borrowing from Medieval Latin ānnulī.
