To flutter means ‘to wave or flap about’ and, if we are talking about birds or other winged creatures, ‘to flap the wings or to fly flapping them.’ Generally speaking, to move in quick and irregular motions is also to flutter and so is to follow an aimless course. If a heart flutters, it means it beats quickly. As a noun, a flutter is fluttering movement, and also a state of excitement or agitation or a sudden commotion.
