plunger

Suction cup tool

A plunger is a rubber suction cup on a stick, used to clear clogged drains and toilets by creating pressure through repeated thrusting: I need the plunger—the toilet's backed up again.

More generally, a plunger is any part that moves with a plunging motion—the pushing mechanism in a syringe, a coffee press, or a detonator.
