Meaning
To contract or quiver rapidly and irregularly
Origin
The word "fibrillate" entered the English language in the early 17th century, derived from the Latin fibrilla ("fiber"). It originally referred to the splitting of fibers, but was later extended to the rapid and irregular contractions of muscles or tissues.
The term is often used in medical contexts, particularly in cardiology, where it refers to the irregular and ineffective contractions of the heart muscle, known as atrial fibrillation.
