screw head

Driver meets metal

A screw head is the top of a screw—the flat, rounded, or contoured end that receives a screwdriver.

Screw heads come in various shapes (flat, pan, oval) and drive types (slotted, Phillips, hex): The screw head sits flush with the surface.

Also written as one word: screwhead.
