Pronunciation: [tɹˈɛmbləz] (IPA) 
Tremblers, pronounced as /ˈtrɛmblərz/, is the plural form of the word "trembler." It is spelled with an "e" after the letter "m" to indicate that there is a schwa sound (ə) between the "m" and the "b." This sound is not always pronounced clearly, but it changes the pronunciation of the word by making it sound more like "trembl-uh" than "trembl-er." Tremblers refers to things or people that tremble, shake or shiver.
Tremblers can refer to two distinct meanings, depending on the context in which it is used. Firstly, in ornithology, tremblers are a group of small, insectivorous birds belonging to the family Rallidae and the genus Cinclocerthia. These birds are native to the Caribbean Islands, particularly in the Greater Antilles. Tremblers are characterized by their vibrant plumage, sharp beaks, and long legs, which aid them in foraging for insects in dense vegetation. They typically exhibit a nervous and restless behavior, frequently bobbing or trembling their bodies, which gives them their name.
Secondly, in a cultural or historical context, tremblers can refer to individuals who experience a physiological condition known as a "trembling disorder." This condition is characterized by involuntary shaking or quivering of one's body or limbs, typically associated with muscle weakness or instability. Tremblers may experience tremors during periods of rest or movement, leading to difficulties in performing certain tasks or maintaining a steady posture. The condition can have various causes, including neurological conditions, medication side effects, or excessive stress.
In conclusion, tremblers can either refer to a group of caribbean birds in the Rallidae family or individuals who experience involuntary shaking or trembling due to a physiological condition.
The etymology of the word "tremblers" is derived from the verb "tremble", which dates back to the late 14th century. "Tremble" originated from the Old French word "trembler", meaning "to tremble, shake", and was influenced by the Latin word "tremulare", meaning "to tremble". Over time, "tremblers" developed as a noun form of the verb, referring to people or things that tremble or shake.
