meander. Meander, “to wind in and out, to wander aimlessly,” comes from the ancient name of the crooked Menderes River in Phrygia, now in western Turkey. The river, noted for its wan- dering course, is still called the Menderes, which became Ma- iandros in Greek, the Greek word eventually yielding meander, which came into English late in the 16th century via French. |
