Definition
Archaic term meaning agitation, commotion, or violent disturbance.
Etymology
From Latin commoliri (to move together, agitate), combining com- (together) and moliri (to move, agitate). This word is largely obsolete in modern English.
Kelly Says
This word practically disappeared from English—it's so rare that even most historical texts prefer 'commotion' instead. But it shows how English once had more Latin-derived words for the same concepts!
