Etymology
The word 'twitch' originates from the Middle English 'twicchen', which meant to pull or jerk. It can be traced back further to Old English 'twiccian', which is related to movements that are sudden or jerky in nature. The suffix '-ier' is commonly added to adjectives in English to denote a comparative form, indicating that something has more of the quality described by the base adjective. In modern usage, 'twitchier' has come to describe not only physical twitching but also states of emotional agitation, reflecting how the word has evolved alongside our understanding of psychological and physiological responses to anxiety, stress, and stimulation.
