You'll notice, now and then, that it teeters (6)

I believe the answer is:

seesaw

'you'll' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'notice now and then that it teeters' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'notice' could be 'see' (notice can mean to spot or see) and 'see' is located in the answer.
'it' could be 'sa' (old-fashioned abbreviation for sex appeal) and 'sa' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'w' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
