{n} the vibrating regulator of time in a clock
a weight hung on a rod, serving by its oscillation to regulate the rate of a clock
A device consisting of a mass attached to a fixed point which oscillates with a known period
{i} object that is suspended from a fixed point so it may swing freely
A body so suspended from a fixed point as to swing freely to and fro by the alternate action of gravity and momentum

You can use the idea of a pendulum and the way it swings regularly as a way of talking about regular changes in a situation or in people's opinions. The political pendulum has swung in favour of the liberals. Body suspended from a fixed point so that it can swing back and forth under the influence of gravity. A simple pendulum consists of a bob (weight) suspended at the end of a string. The periodic motion of a pendulum is constant, but can be made longer or shorter by increasing or decreasing the length of the string. A change in the mass of the bob alone does not affect the period. Because of their constancy, pendulums were long used to regulate the movement of clocks. Other, special kinds of pendulums are used to measure the value of g, the acceleration due to gravity, and to show that the earth rotates on its axis (see Foucault pendulum)
Freestyle Riding : A double can can (one side and then the other)
an apparatus consisting of an object mounted so that it swings freely under the influence of gravity
The pendulum of a clock is a rod with a weight at the end which swings from side to side in order to make the clock work
v To swing in an arc on the end of a rope to gain access to an anchor or rock feature to one side of your current position
