Etymology
.

Noun

 * 1) A spinning top of a shape with counterintuitive behaviour: generally mushroom-like or spherical, with a rounded head and a short stem; when spun head-down on a smooth, flat surface, it inverts its attitude so that it spins head-up, on the tip of the stem, until it loses momentum and falls over.

Translations

 * German: Stehaufkreisel, Umkehrkreisel
