Meaning of "vellicating" in English

"Vellicating" is a less common English word derived from the verb "vellicate," which means to twitch, pinch, or pluck lightly. The term often implies a gentle, sporadic motion, such as a muscle twitch or a small involuntary movement. It can be used to describe a variety of actions, whether it involves flicking a finger across a surface or the light touch on the skin that causes a reflexive response. Typically, it's used in more specialized or technical contexts, such as in anatomy or neurology, to describe involuntary muscle twitches.
