draw, to cause convulsion. Cf. Span, v. t.]

more muscles or muscular fibers.

spasm, the muscles or muscular fibers contract and
relax alternately in very quick succession. In tonic
spasm, the contraction is steady and uniform, and
continues for a comparatively long time, as in tetanus.
[1913 Webster]
2. A sudden, violent, and temporary effort or emotion; as, a
spasm of repentance.
[1913 Webster]
Cynic spasm (Med.) See under Cynic.
