Topshaped

Topshaped is a term used to describe the shape of an object that resembles a top, such as a spinning toy. This shape is characterized by a wider upper portion that tapers down to a narrower base. The transition between the wider top and narrower base can be gradual or abrupt, depending on the specific object.

Objects that are described as top-shaped often have a rounded or curved upper surface and a more pointed or flattened lower surface. This form is common in nature, for example, in certain types of fruits, seeds, or even geological formations. In manufactured items, the top-shaped design can be used for aesthetic purposes or to improve stability. For instance, a vase with a top-shaped profile might be more stable than one with a uniform width, especially when filled with water.

The term is not a formal scientific classification but rather a descriptive adjective. It's often used in contexts where a visual comparison to a spinning top is readily understood. The proportions and specific curvature can vary greatly, meaning "topshaped" is a general descriptor rather than a precise geometric definition.
