Definition
In a state of wiggling or moving with small, quick movements back and forth.
Etymology
From 'a-' plus 'wiggle' (probably from Low German). The combination creates a descriptive adverb meaning the state of continuous wiggling or slight restless motion.
Kelly Says
The word 'wiggle' itself probably came from Low German dialects, showing how English borrowed from its Germanic neighbors. Words like 'awiggle' show how the language was constantly mixing and remixing borrowed elements!
