Peg comes to rest, perhaps, where the seesaw tips (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teeters

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the seesaw tips' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'peg comes to rest perhaps' is the wordplay.
'peg' becomes 'tee' (tee is a kind of peg).
'comes to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'rest' is an anagram of 'ters'.
'tee'+'ters'='TEETERS'

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
