Topper Meaning in English
word
释义
A 'topper' is something placed on top for decoration, like a cake topper. In some regions, it also means a student who ranks first academically or, rarely, a type of hat.
用法与细微差别
'Topper' is informal outside of decoration or academic contexts. In South Asia, it's widely used for an excellent student ('class topper'). 'Cake topper' is very common. Rarely used for hats in modern English. Don't confuse with 'top' (uppermost part) or 'topping' (food).
