Root of the זוע zûwaʻ family (7 members).

To be in a disturbed or agitated state; to be visibly or inwardly shaken, moved, unsettled, or terrified, whether due to fear or intense emotion. The verb indicates both literal trembling or shaking, as well as more abstract emotional agitation or distress.

Etymology Root is זוּעַ (z-w-ʻ), relating to the idea of movement or agitation. The root carries the core sense of shaking, quaking, or being in motion, though its specific lexical usage points more toward states of disturbed agitation rather than mere physical shaking.
