Explanation
A disc is a flat, round object, often used to store music, movies, or computer data, like a CD or DVD. Discs can also mean soft, flat, round cushions between the bones of the spine, such as spinal discs in the back. In sports, a disc can be something thrown, like a flying disc used in outdoor game. The spelling “disc” is common in British English, while “disk” is more common in American English, especially in computers (like hard disk). So, “disc” can mean either a storage device, a body structure, or a round object used in play.
