Definitions

Word origin

From Latin Maeander, from Ancient Greek Μαίανδρος (Maíandros) – a river in Asia Minor (present day Turkey) known for its winding course (modern Turkish Menderes).

Used in a sentence

  • the meanders of an old river, or of the veins and arteries in the body
  • See, how the streams advancing to the main, / Through crooked channels draw their crystal train! / While lingering thus they in meanders glide, / They scatter verdant life on either side.
  • The scales are conceived of as meander fretwork; but I do not know whether, for this reason, this fish is associated with thunder.
