If you’re genuinely not familiar, yes, onion rings is a popular fast food side item in the US and they’re onions cut into rings, then breaded or battered and deep fried.
They’re delicious, but awful for you, like anything deepfried.
Even if kept in ring shape and not diced up, I don’t think many people would except someone calling a raw, sauteed, or otherwise not deepfried onion an “onion ring.”

it is confusing because the cheese curds are described as “breaded and fried”
