peg-top
Pointy wooden spinner
A peg-top is a spinning toy shaped like an inverted cone, wide at the top and tapering to a metal point at the bottom.
A string wrapped around the body is pulled to set it spinning on its peg.
As an adjective, peg-top describes trousers that are wide at the hips and narrow at the ankles, echoing the toy's silhouette: peg-top pants.
