Etymology
From Middle Englishtop, toppe, from Old Englishtop(“top, highest part; summit; crest; tassel, tuft; (spinning) top, ball; a tuft or ball at the highest point of anything”), from Proto-West Germanic*topp, from Proto-Germanic*tuppaz(“braid, pigtail, end”), of unknown ultimate origin.
Cognate with Scotstap(“top”), North Frisiantop, tap, tup(“top”), Saterland FrisianTop(“top”), West Frisiantop(“top”), Dutchtop(“top, summit, peak”), Low GermanTopp(“top”), GermanZopf(“braid, pigtail, plait, top”), Swedishtopp(“top, peak, summit, tip”), Icelandictoppur(“top”).
The sense of a spinning toy is separated from this, obscurely related to Dutchtop and dop in this sense, against Standard Dutch tol, and Frenchtoupie having this sense.
