It’s Wordy Wednesday again and today’s word might give you the jitters.

Collywobbles can mean an upset stomach, or an intense sense of unease/ nervousness as in, “it gives me the collywobbles”.

In terms of British English usage, the word is thought to date back to the 19th century. Its origin is likely from the disease cholera.
