fidget spinner
Where it comes from
Compound of fidget + spinner. Usage began in early 2017 as it skyrocketed in popularity, although the origin of the toy itself is disputed.
noun fidget spinners
-
A type of stress-relieving toy that is intended to be spun around in one's hand, and that generally consists of a bearing in the center of a design made from any of a variety of materials including brass, stainless steel, titanium, copper, and plastic.
If you're like many people and you absently take apart pens and put them back together, unbend paper clips, pick at the carpet or your hair, or idly fiddle with whatever is nearby, a fidget spinner can quietly focus your energy in a less destructive way.
