It's called a doughnut hole because it's implied to be the piece of dough that was punched out to make a regular circular doughnut that has a hole in it.

Oh I understand that. I was just being facetious; my point was more to do with the definition of a hole, and how it's used here to describe something that definitely is not a hole.

If we're pedantic, then the doughnut hole is the middle bit of the original doughnut, now that this part has been punched out.
