Definitions

1. Having a greater tendency to shake, tremble, or quiver
2. Exhibiting increased shakiness or nervous movement compared to something else
3. Being more prone to quivering, unsteadiness, or slight shaking

Etymology: "Quakier" is the comparative of "quaky," meaning more prone to shaking or trembling. "Quaky" is "quake" plus the adjective-forming suffix "-y," and "quake" comes from Old English "cwacian," meaning to tremble. Because the base ends in "-y," the comparative changes the "y" to "ie" before adding "-er."

Synonyms: shakier, less stable

Antonyms: steady, stable
