QUAVERED Meaning and Definition

  1. Quavered is a verb that refers to the action of producing a trembling or shaky sound in one's voice, often as a result of nervousness, fear, or uncertainty. The term is typically used to describe a wavering and unsteady tone or pitch in someone's speech or singing.

    When someone quavers, their voice exhibits a distinct vibrato or rapid alteration in pitch, producing a slight tremor. This trembling effect can be caused by various emotions or physical conditions, such as anxiety, distress, weakness, or old age. The quavering sound occurs due to the involuntary contraction or irregular movement of the vocal cords, causing the voice to wobble or shake.

    The word "quavered" can also be used metaphorically to describe other forms of trembling or shakiness, particularly in inanimate objects. For instance, one might say that a quavered note on a musical instrument refers to a shaky or wavering sound produced by uncertain or unsteady finger placement or breath control.

    In summary, quavered describes the action of vocal vibrations characterized by a tremulous or unsteady quality. It conveys a sense of emotional vulnerability, fragility, or instability in the voice, often resulting from fear, nervousness, or physical weakness.
