Definition
The state or quality of being fidgety; restless or nervous movement, or the act of fidgeting.
Etymology
From fidget plus -ation (a suffix forming nouns describing actions or conditions). This 19th-century coinage attempted to create a formal noun describing fidgeting behavior.
Kelly Says
Fidgetation is a wonderfully clunky word—it's how 19th-century doctors and educators formally described what we just call 'the wiggles.' It sounds scientific, which made children look more pathological.
