Etymology
The word 'quiver' comes from the Old English term 'cweorn', meaning to tremble or shake. It has Germanic roots, related to the Middle Dutch word 'quiveren', which captures the idea of vibration or shaking. The term has evolved over centuries to encompass various contexts of slight, rapid movements. Various manuscripts from the Middle Ages use the term to describe emotions or physical conditions, thus solidifying its usage in modern English. The concept of quivering has also found its way into literature, often symbolizing vulnerability or heightened emotional states.
