"principal part or top of anything"

I don't see how that general description includes the first

"top"

Take it from the top!

(To a musician or actor, that means start at the beginning.)

But he'd get odd looks if he called, "Take it from the chief!"

(I'm not sure if I'm being quite logical here, and if I'm
not, I apologise, but my head is starting to spin - a most
peculiar sight.)
