atremble
In tremulous motion
Atremble means trembling or quivering, typically from fear, excitement, or anticipation: She stood atremble at the threshold.
The word is literary and somewhat old-fashioned, appearing mainly in poetry and formal prose.
Like other a- adjectives (ablaze, alight, astir), it functions as a predicate rather than preceding a noun.
