Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin titubāt-, titubāre.

Etymology: < classical Latin titubāt-, past participial stem (see -ate suffix³) of titubāre to walk unsteadily, to totter, to stagger, to falter, to vacillate or dither, to make a mistake, slip up, or stumble (in speech or action); a reduplicated formation of imitative origin.Compare Spanish titubar , Italian titubare (both 14th cent.), Middle French, French tituber , Portuguese titubar (both 15th cent.), all in the senses ‘to stagger, to totter’ and ‘to vacillate’. With sense 2 compare classical Latin titubat lingua, lit. ‘the tongue staggers’ (Ovid Ars Amatoria 1. 598), and Italian titubare (14th cent. in this sense).
