The act of fluttering; quick and irregular motion.
A state of agitation.
The rapid variation of signal parameters, such as amplitude, phase, and frequency.

To flap or wave quickly but irregularly.
To undergo divergent oscillations (potentially to the point of causing structural failure) due to a positive feedback loop between elastic deformation and aerodynamic forces.
To cause something to flap.
To drive into disorder; to throw into confusion.
A fitful movement similar to a twitch or jerk.
