A craft with a single circular shaped wing is a "flying saucer".
I'd say that a 'flying saucer' had to be substantially circular in it's entirity, not just in it's wing, to meet the normal expectation of what was meant - this is why I say the Sack AS-6, and the Vought Flapjack weren't true 'flying saucers'. The Avrocar would have been, if it had ever flown properly. I've seen no evidence that anything else that shape was ever flown sucessfully.

'Flying saucers' are usually depicted as having a VTOL capability too, though I suppose this isn't strictly necessary.
