"סביבון" meaning in Hebrew

See סביבון in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: סְבִיבוֹן [canonical], s'vivón [romanization], סְבִיבוֹנִים [indefinite, plural], סביבון־ [construct, singular]
Etymology: Root ס־ב־ב (s-b-b) Late 19th century: from סְבִיב (s'viv) + ־וֹן (-ón). It is disputed who coined the word: it was either Itamar Ben-Avi (the son of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda) at the age of five (i.e. 1887), who writes in his memoir that he remembers one day jumping to his mother and telling her that he found a סביבון (s'vivón, “dreidel”), or the writer and journalist David Yeshaya Silberbusch who published the word in a 1897 list for Ha-Tsefirah. Many other names were suggested but didn't catch including כִּרְכָּר by Bialik, חֲזַרְזָר by Mendele Mocher Sforim, סוֹבֶבֶת, פַּרְפָּרָה, מִגְדַּל עֹז, גַּלְגְּלָן and more.
