Etymology: Tremor \Tre"mor\, noun. [Latin expression, from tremere to tremble. See Tremble, verb.]. (Websters 1913)

Domain	Definition
Geological	See: Harmonic Tremor. (references)
Health	Cyclical movement of a body part that can represent either a physiologic process or a manifestation of disease. Intention or action tremor, a common manifestation of cerebellar diseases, is aggravated by movement. In contrast, resting tremor is maximal when there is no attempt at voluntary movement, and occurs as a relatively frequent manifestation of Parkinson disease. (references)
Medicine	A rythmic, involuntary, purposeless, oscillating movement resulting from the alternate contraction and relaxation of opposing groups of muscles. Source: European Union. (references)

Tremor is the shaking movement of the whole body or just a certain part of it, caused by problems of the neurons responsible from muscle action.

Tremor may occur as an isolated symptom and usually of unknown cause (essential tremor) or a part of the symptom constellation of another disorder (Parkinson's Disease). Tremors may occur at rest (Parkinson's disease), during voluntary movements (cerebellar lesions) or during excessive activity of muscles (essential tremor, hyperthyroidism). Tremors may increase with anxiety and caffeine and cease during sleep. Medications are used only if tremor interferes with daily life activities. Some of the drugs that can be used are clonazepam, mysoline, and propranolol.

Tremors are also the shaking movements of earthquakes.
