Etymology

The word 'quivery' derives from the verb 'quiver', which can be traced back to Middle English 'quiveren', meaning to shake or tremble. This Middle English term has its roots in the Old English 'cwifrian', which is connected to the notion of shaking or vibrating. Throughout history, 'quiver' and its derivatives have retained their association with slight, rapid movements or trembling. 'Quivery' comes from the addition of the '-y' suffix, which is commonly used in English to form adjectives that describe a quality or characteristic associated with the root word. The nuance of the word often conveys a sense of fragility or emotional intensity in contemporary usage.
