Etymology: "Wigglings" is the plural of "wiggling," the form of the verb "wiggle" used as a noun for the small, quick movements themselves. The word takes its plural in the usual way, so a single twitch of a finger is a wiggling and several such twitches are wigglings. Wiggling itself is simply "wiggle" with the ending added, and "wiggle" is the older base from which the rest of the family grows.

Synonyms: wrigglings, squirmings, twistings, shifts, fidgetings
