JUDDER Meaning and Definition

  1. Judder is a verb that refers to a sudden, jerky, and unsteady movement or vibration, typically experienced in machines, vehicles, or objects. It is often accompanied by a shaking or trembling motion. The term is commonly used to describe a rapid and irregular oscillation or jolt that causes a repetitive and uncomfortable motion.

    Judder can occur in various contexts. For example, when riding in a car, if the brakes are applied abruptly, it can result in a juddering motion as the vehicle comes to a halt. Similarly, when a washing machine is overloaded or unbalanced, it may produce a juddering effect during its spin cycle. In both cases, the irregular motion can produce a sensation of instability, uneasiness, or discomfort.

    The term can also be used metaphorically to describe other phenomena. For instance, in cinematography, judder is often used to describe an unpleasant stuttering or flickering effect that occurs when filming fast-moving subjects or when displaying certain types of content on digital screens.
