单词 didder
释义

didderv.

/ˈdɪdə/
Forms: Middle English diddir, Middle English didir, dyder, dedir, dedur, 1500s dydder, 1600s– didder. See also dither n.
Etymology: Found in the 14th cent. related to dadder v. and dodder v.; the form in all being frequentative as in totter, flutter, etc. It is not certain whether they belong to an ablaut stem did , dad , dod , (dud ), or whether they are entirely onomatopoeic, didder e.g. being a natural imitation of tremulous motion, and dadder , dudder , dodder , variations expressing clumsier or heavier forms of it. Didder is chiefly northern; dither v., which appears later, is also midland and southern, the -ther arising out of -der, as in father, mother, hither, etc.
Now only dialect.
intransitive. To tremble, quake, shake, shiver.
