Let $F$ be a plane figure.

Let $L$ be a straight line in the same plane as $F$.

Let $F$ be rotated one full turn about $L$ in $3$-dimensional space.

The solid of revolution generated by $F$ around $L$ is the solid figure whose boundaries are the paths taken by the sides of $F$ as they go round $L$.
