I encountered this word in Merriam-Webster site, and thought it worth a post.
This word has been used many times in AWADtalk. But I wonder how many people are familiar with its etymology. There was a Meander River in Turkey which gave its name as an adjective to describe "S" shaped curves in rivers. Here a URL to a diagram showing how it develops:
