Definition
Either end of a barrel (the flat, circular wooden piece that closes it), or the top surface of such a head.
Etymology
From barrel plus head, a compound combining the container name with the part that covers it. The term has been in use since at least the 1600s in English.
Kelly Says
The phrase 'on the barrelhead' meaning 'paid in cash immediately' comes from frontier taverns where customers paid in coins placed directly on the wooden barrelhead serving as a counter—the most trustworthy payment method of the era.
