serpentined
Twisted like snakes
Serpentined means moved in a winding, snake-like path: The river serpentined through the valley, She serpentined through the crowd.
The word describes motion that curves back and forth rather than proceeding straight.
Less common than the base verb serpentine, it appears mainly in literary or descriptive writing.
