Etymology of DITHERING
The word "dithering" is believed to have originated in the early 17th century, deriving from the Middle English word "didder", which meant to shake or tremble. This Middle English term is potentially related to the Old Norse word "dytja" or the Middle Low German word "ditteren", both of which mean to shake or shiver. Over time, "dithering" came to be used metaphorically to describe hesitant or indecisive behavior, where one seems to be figuratively shaking or trembling with uncertainty.
