Taking a line outside a circle of constant radius as an
axe of revolution, one revolves the circle around the line
variating the radius along the the circle.
Then one obtains a surface of this kind as orbit of the circle.

Consider the case where you have a line segment by your
both hands. When you loose the line segment, Gravity makes it
a curve, which is called a Catenary. Catenoid is a surface of
revolution, which is obtained by revolving the Catenary around
some axe. In general, a surface spanning a fixed boundary
which has minimal area is called minimal surface.
Catenoid is a minimal surface spanning two discs.
This is only a minimal surface of revolution.
