Root Explanation

This word originates from Latin 'meander' (meaning to wind or to turn) combined with the suffix '-ous' (meaning full of or possessing). The word 'meandrous' describes something that is full of winding or turning paths, reminiscent of the Meander River in ancient Anatolia, known for its twisting course.

Memory Tip

Imagine a river that 'winds' and 'turns' — that's what 'meandrous' means, full of twists and turns.
