clipper
Speedy sailing vessel
A clipper is a tool for cutting or trimming—nail clippers, hair clippers, hedge clippers.
The word usually appears in plural even for a single implement.
A clipper was also a fast sailing ship of the 19th century, designed for speed with tall masts and sharp lines: the great tea clippers racing from China.
In basketball, the Clippers are the Los Angeles team.
