Quá khứ: skitteredPhân từ 2: skitteredV-ing: skittering

This word evokes a sense of nervous energy or sudden, erratic motion. It is most frequently associated with small animals, insects, or light objects, suggesting a lack of weight and a high frequency of contact with the surface. The sound implied is often a series of light, clicking, or scratching noises.

In a social or emotional context, it can describe a feeling of restlessness or an inability to remain still. It differs from "scurry" in that it emphasizes the lightness and superficiality of the movement rather than just the speed or the intent to hide.
