Word origin

From a Germanic word, probably present in Old English though unattested, cognate with Old High German scivaro (German Schiefer (“slate”)).

Used in a sentence

  • They stood outside for hours, shivering in the frosty air.
  • The man that shivered on the brink of sin, / Thus steeled and hardened, ventures boldly in.
  • He was shivering a little, for he had always been used to sleeping in a proper bed, and by this time his coat had worn so thin and threadbare from hugging that it was no longer any protection to him.
