rocker
Curved chair base
A rocker is a curved piece on which something rocks—the arc beneath a rocking chair or cradle.
A rocking chair itself is often called a rocker.
In music, a rocker is a rock musician or fan: She's been a rocker since the seventies.
A rocker is also a curved blade on an ice skate.
To be off one's rocker is to be crazy.
