The term "vellicate" is deployed in literature to denote a sudden, sharp movement or twitch, often in a physical or metaphorical sense. In one instance, the word functions as a descriptor for a slight jerk or twitch, implying a brief, almost involuntary motion [1]. Elsewhere, the term takes on a more deliberate and even threatening nuance, where the act of vellicating becomes a means of inflicting discomfort or demonstrating one’s capacity to cause harm [2]. Additionally, its use to characterize varied responses—ranging from the light tickle of a feather to the pain induced by a sharper instrument—illustrates its versatility in conveying different levels of physical stimulus [3].
