Pivot means to turn. A pivot joint turns around a ring. The best example is the ring of bone that the atlas vertebra makes and the "finger" of the dens vertebra. The joint allows us to turn our heads. The atlas holds the head. In mythology Atlas held the world on his shoulders. The dens is called this because it has a "tooth" like structure. (dens as in dental).
