Ootred 春 🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒
Where is the shudder from in this sentence? ‘The elevator rose with a shudder.’
The sentence is from here:
https://www.lexico.com/definition/shudder
‘The elevator rose with a shudder.’
Is shudder from the machine elevater or the human being in it?
The dictionary defines shudder is a kind of act, then shudder should be a shaking movement men make rather then the elevator shaking or vibrating violently?
Correct me if I am wrong, thanks.

Machines can move with a shudder or start with a shudder.
In fact all engines start with a shudder. It is just a question of how much shudder.
You forget to read definition 1.1 ESPECIALLY OF A MACHINE
