lid
Pot's removable top
A lid is a removable cover for a container—a pot lid, a jar lid, a trash can lid.
The eyelid covers the eye, sometimes shortened to lid in informal speech.
To put a lid on something is to suppress or contain it: Let's put a lid on this before it gets out of hand.
In slang, lid can mean a hat.
