Also means
totter
Usage Note
Tituber vividly describes an unsteady, lurching gait — typically due to drunkenness, exhaustion, or dizziness. It is more literary than the colloquial vaciller or chanceler. The image is of repeated small stumbles rather than a single trip, making it ideal for describing someone barely keeping upright.
Examples
"Il titubait sur le trottoir après la fête."
Natural Translation
He was staggering on the pavement after the party.
