A small wig worn on top of the head to cover baldness or a bald spot.
From French 'toupet,' borrowed from Old French 'touper' (tuft of hair). Originally meant a tuft of hair, and came to mean a small wig to cover thinning spots.
Famous people like Donald Trump have toupee debates that become cultural events—the word even appears in Trump's biography, and fashion brands now call them 'hair systems' to avoid the stigma!
