EN: top hat
That fancy top hat you see in old movies or worn by magicians. Think of Jose Rizal's iconic look, or the Monopoly man's headgear. It's the hat that says 'I'm either a 19th-century ilustrado or about to pull a rabbit out of this thing.'
From Spanish "cilindro" (cylinder), but with a specialized meaning in Tagalog referring to the top hat, likely due to its shape.
This word specifically refers to a top hat. For the geometric shape or a mechanical part, 'silindro' is used.
