1926 J. K. Fotheringham in Monthly Notices Royal Astron. Soc. 87 166 I therefore propose to use the term ‘trepidation’, which expresses the kind of movement we have in view, and which has the advantage of being the ancient term for one of the forms in which it manifests itself. The trepidation of the equinoxes..was a long-period forward and backward motion of the equinox... Such a motion of the equinox with a major period of 260 years is exactly one of the phenomena under discussion, and I propose therefore to give the name ‘trepidation’ to the whole of this group of phenomena.
