Entry: Zuckung (n.)

 

In context: "His legs were the size his comely arms had been, before Withdrawl.  He was haunted by the word Zuckung, a foreign and possibly yiddish word he did not recall ever before hearing."

Definition: From the first translation I could find online:


Zuckung 
Zu•ckung      f   , -, -en   (=nervöse Zuckung)   twitch 
[+von Muskeln auch]   spasm 
[+von Augenlidern auch]   flutter  ,   (stärker, krampfhaft)    convulsion
[+von sterbendem Tier]   convulsive movement 
die letzten Zuckungen        (lit, fig)   the death throes
