VIBRATE Meaning and Definition

  1. Vibrate is a verb that is used to describe a rapid or continuous movement back and forth or up and down, usually in the form of small or subtle oscillations. This movement is often characterized by a pattern of regular or rhythmic motions that produce an audible or felt vibration.

    In a literal sense, vibrating refers to the physical oscillation or tremor of an object or substance. It could be caused by various factors such as mechanical or electrical stimuli, sound waves, or other forms of energy. For example, an electronic device like a smartphone can vibrate to alert the user of an incoming call or message.

    However, vibrating can also refer to an abstract concept or a non-physical phenomenon. It may be used to describe the emotional or psychological state of a person. In this sense, it signifies a feeling or a state of excitement, energy, or agitation. For instance, a performer may claim to be "vibrating with anticipation" before going on stage.

    Additionally, the term can be used metaphorically to illustrate the impact or influence of an object, event, or idea. To vibrate in this context means to have a strong effect or resonance on someone or something. For instance, a powerful speech may vibrate through an audience, leaving an emotional or lasting impact.

    In summary, to vibrate is to exhibit rapid back-and-forth movement, whether physical or abstract, often characterized by a pattern of regular oscillations or a strong impact on a person or object.

  2. To move to and fro; to cause to quiver; to tremble.
