Movement with a random component, such as
Brownian motion or a drunkard's walk.
Comes from the verb zittern = jitter.

From Wikipedia, it's a frequency at which an electron is supposed to

be oscillating, giving it spin etc., derived from m_e and h:
F_zitter = 2mc^2/hbar = 1.552e21 Hz,
which is very close to my computation of the electron harmonic
oscillator resonance of the pair in their Dual Space cell of
F = sqrt(K/m_e) = 2.693e21 Hz
in Eq. 11 of my permittivity paper at http://www.dualspace.net.
The electron pair are restrained by spring coefficient K = 2.6e14N/m.

No, zitter = teeter.

http://dictionary.com/browse/teeter

Zitterbewegung = teeterbewaying

The Zitter is the fluctuint componant in hard radiation that shares
the wavesizes of a elèctròn's self-energy, that shows up upon pair
production or annihilation.
