Nutation

Nutation is what a spinning top does as it oscillates. It's also the curve in the stem of a growing plant. And it's nodding. So, lots of choices there. But none as interesting as the invented ones. Gergory's was the winner on the poll. Thanks for that, Gregory.

Nutation means the growth of trees from nuts.

An acorn got buried underground. It started to sprout, beginning it's nutation.

Nutation is the name of a restaurant that serves nothing but Nutella - on crackers, with pie... all Nutella all the time. "Nutation" is actually a shortened form of "Nutella Nation".

You go to a medical doctor for a prescription. You go to a psychiatrist for a nutation.

Nutation is the tally that squirrels keep of how many nuts they have hoarded.
