- (n.) The act of vibrating or the state of being vibrated or in vibratory motion; quick motion to and fro; oscillation, as of a pendulum or musical string.
- (n.) A limited reciprocating motion of a particle of an elastic body or medium in alternately opposite directions from its position of equilibrium, when that equilibrium has been disturbed, as when a stretched cord or other body produces musical notes or particles of air transmit sounds to the ear. The path of the particle may be in a straight line, in a circular arc or in any curve whatever.
