Courtesy of Wikipedia: "A porthole, sometimes called bull's-eye window or bull's-eye, is a generally circular window used on the hull of ships to admit light and air." My adding, through a "Port", aka hole in the side of a ship in this case, not a "Starboard" in the side of a ship. Grin. Heck I don't know.

Forgive me! Grin.
