How Do You Spell WIGGLE?

Pronunciation: [wˈɪɡə͡l] (IPA)

The word "wiggle" is spelled with a "w" followed by the vowel combination "i-g-g-l-e." The "i" and "g" are pronounced separately as "ih-g," with a short vowel sound and a hard "g" sound, respectively. The "gl" combination is pronounced as a "g-l" blend, again with the hard "g" sound followed by a quick "l" sound.

WIGGLE Meaning and Definition

1. Wiggle is a verb that refers to the act of moving or causing something to move in quick, small and twisting motions, often with a sense of flexibility or looseness. It typically involves repeating and irregular movements that create a slight shaking or twisting action. The term can also represent a noun, referring to the action or manner of wiggling.

   When used to describe human or animal movement, wiggle suggests a slight and often playful or nervous movement. It commonly implies a sense of liveliness or energy, as when a child wiggles with excitement or a fish wiggles its tail to swim. Wiggle can also describe the wriggling movement of something flexible, such as a worm or a snake.

   In a figurative sense, the term can be used to describe a small, evasive movement aimed at avoiding capture, detection, or restraint. It can also be used metaphorically to express a lack of focus or firmness, as in a shaky argument or uncertain decision that appears to "wiggle" or lack stability.

   The term often connotes a sense of informality, accessibility, and lightheartedness. It can be employed in various contexts, ranging from describing physical movements and actions to describing abstract concepts or even objects that appear to have some level of movement or flexibility.
