Tremulous

Bonfire

Anything that tremors or makes similar movements is classified as tremulous.

Tremulous is an adjective that is used to describe something that has tremors or that makes similar movements . If we analyze the etymology of the term, we find that the root of this word is found in the Latin tremŭlus, which in turn derives from the verb tremere (equivalent to "tremble" ).

It should be noted that tremble is a verb that refers to shaking or shaking . Tremor , for its part, is the noun that names the consequence of this action. This means that, when describing something or someone as tremulous, we are indicating that it trembles or that it moves as if it were trembling.

Concept of tremulous

It should be noted that the concept of trembling is not only used with reference to people. It can be said that the flame of a bonfire is tremulous when the wind influences it, to cite one possibility.

For example: "The child, trembling before the scene, did not dare to continue looking and covered his eyes with his hands" , "The caresses caused the tremulous movement of his body" , "The authorities cannot remain trembling in the face of terrorism "Citizens need to act immediately and be guaranteed security."
