Be about to topple over (6)

I believe the answer is:

teeter

(Other definitions for teeter that I've seen before include "Stand or move unsteadily" , "Hesitate on the brink" , "See-saw on the edge" , "Wobble as though about to fall" , "Sway, as if about to fall" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
