tremblers
Those who quiver
Tremblers is the plural of trembler—one who trembles.
The word appears in religious contexts for members of groups known for shaking during worship, such as Quakers or Shakers.
A trembler is also a device that vibrates to make or break an electrical circuit, as in an old doorbell mechanism.
