The word "meander" refers to winding or following a curvy path, often used to describe the twisting course of a river. It can also mean to wander aimlessly without a specific destination in mind.

For example, imagine walking through a forest where the path twists and turns through the trees. You might say, "The trail meanders through the dense forest, making it a scenic route." Alternatively, consider someone strolling through a city without a plan. You could describe this as, "He spent the afternoon meandering through the bustling streets, enjoying the sights and sounds."


"Meander" can also be used metaphorically, such as in, "Her thoughts meandered during the lecture, drifting from one topic to another," or "The conversation meandered from sports to politics without a clear direction." This versatile word enriches your vocabulary, adding depth to descriptions of both physical journeys and abstract explorations.
