wavering
This term describes a state of instability, whether it is psychological or physical. When applied to a person's resolve or opinion, it suggests a lack of conviction or a struggle to commit to a specific path. It carries a nuance of fragility, implying that the subject is easily swayed or is currently in a state of flux.
In a physical or auditory sense, it refers to an unsteady quality, such as a voice that shakes due to emotion or a light that flickers. This creates an image of inconsistency and weakness, contrasting with words like steady, firm, or resolute.
Meanings
Showing a lack of decisiveness or certainty; hesitant in opinion or purpose.
