Этимология

Inherited from Middle French toupie (“spinning top”), from Old French topoie (“spinning top”), probably from Frankish *topp (“spinning top”), uncertain whether from *tuppaz (“top, summit, peak”), if so then so called because the toy spins on its tip, which is the top. Cognate with Middle Dutch top, topp (“spinning top”), dialectal Dutch top and dop (“spinning top”) against standard tol, West Frisian top (“spinning top”), Middle English and English top (“spinning top”), Old High German topf (“spinning top”).
