sinuate
Having curved margins
Sinuate means having a wavy or winding margin, curving in and out.
The term appears primarily in botanical and zoological descriptions: sinuate leaf edges, a sinuate coastline.
It describes gentler undulations than serrated or toothed edges—think of a curve that flows rather than cuts.
