Shaken or affected by earthquakes; describing something that has been jolted or disturbed by seismic activity.
Archaic past participle of 'earthquake,' using the '-en' suffix (Old English -en, marking past participles). This form is rare in modern English but appears in older literature and poetry.
This archaic form shows how English once had many ways to mark past action—'earthquaken' sounds almost Shakespearean, and it perfectly captures the permanent state of being changed by seismic force.
