Smith's Bible Dictionary
Shiggaion

(Psalms 7:1) a particular kind of psalm, the specific character of which is now not known perhaps a "wild, mournful ode."

ATS Bible Dictionary
Shiggaion

Psalm 7:1-17, title, and SHIGGIONOTH, Habakkuk 3:1; probably song, or song of praise; perhaps some particular species of ode.

Easton's Bible Dictionary
From the verb shagah, "to reel about through drink," occurs in the title of Psalm 7. The plural form, shigionoth, is found in Habakkuk 3:1. The word denotes a lyrical poem composed under strong mental emotion; a song of impassioned imagination accompanied with suitable music; a dithyrambic ode.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
SHIGGAION

shi-ga'-yon, shi-gi'-on (shiggayon): Occurs in the title of Psalm 7, and, in the plural, in the verse introducing Habakkuk's prayer (Habakkuk 3:1). Derived from a verb meaning "to wander," it is generally taken to mean a dithyramb, or rhapsody. This is not supported by the Greek VSS, but they are evidently quite at a loss.
