Sway, as if about to fall (6)

I believe the answer is:

teeter

(Other definitions for teeter that I've seen before include "Hesitate on the brink" , "Rock unsteadily on edge" , "Stand or move unsteadily" , "Sway, as if about to fall" , "Sway back and forth, on the brink perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
