Crest

Toothpaste or heraldry

Crest names the highest point or top of something—a hill, a wave, a bird's head feathers, or the ridge of a helmet.

From this comes the heraldic crest: the distinctive emblem displayed atop a knight's helmet, now loosely used for any coat of arms or official insignia.

The verb crest means to reach the top: The floodwaters crested overnight.

If you're riding the crest of a wave, you're at the peak of success or popularity.
