Etymology
1. 1616, from L.
vibratus, pp. of
vibrare "move quickly to and fro, shake," from PIE
*w(e)ib- "move quickly to and fro" (cf. Lith.
wyburiu "to wag" (the tail), Dan.
vippe, Du.
wippen "to swing," O.E.
wipan "to wipe"). Musical
vibrato (1861) reproduces the It. form.
2. The adjective (then also used as a participle) is first attested in 1420, in Middle English, the verb in 1620; partly from Middle English vibrat(e) (“reverberant”), partly directly borrowed from Latin vibrātus, perfect passive participle of vibrō (“to agitate, set in tremulous motion”) (see -ate (etymology 1, 2 and 3)), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *weyp- (“to oscillate, swing”) or *weyb-.
