quiverings
Tiny rapid movements
Quiverings are slight trembling movements or sensations.
The word captures repeated or multiple instances of quivering—small, rapid vibrations that might be physical or emotional: the quiverings of a leaf in the breeze, nervous quiverings in her stomach.
The plural emphasizes duration or multiplicity rather than a single tremor.
