What does PEGTOP mean in Scrabble?
noun
A pear-shaped wooden spinning toy with a metal point, set whirling by pulling off a wound string.
Children threw the pegtop to the ground with a quick jerk of the string, and it would hum as it spun on its iron tip. The shape gave its name to clothing as well: trousers or skirts cut wide at the hips and narrow at the ankle were called pegtop in the nineteenth century and again in some later fashions. In both uses the picture is a rounded top tapering to a point.
