A sudden, strong feeling of excitement or fear; a thrill; a shiver that runs through the body in response to something intensely moving.
From French 'frisson' (shiver), from Latin 'frigere' (to be cold). The French turned a physical shiver into an emotional earthquake — that moment when music gives you goosebumps.
That SHIVER when a song hits just right, or a plot twist blows your mind! The French named the exact moment your body goes 'whoa!' It's your nervous system giving a standing ovation! 🎵😮
