verb
To hesitate nervously and be unable to make up your mind.
People dither at a menu, at a crossroads or over a big decision, swinging from one choice to another without settling. The word began as a dialect form meaning to tremble, and the sense of nervous shaking is still behind the modern use. In computing and printing it has a second, technical life: to dither an image is to mix dots of a few colours so that the eye sees many more.
