shakeable
Able to quiver
Shakeable describes something that can be shaken—physically moved back and forth with quick motions: a shakeable container for mixing drinks.
More often, it describes confidence, faith, or composure that can be disturbed or undermined: Her resolve proved shakeable under pressure.
The negative unshakeable is more common, emphasizing steadfastness.
Also spelled shakable.
