Today’s Words That Work: Undulate
Archives: Word to the Wise
To undulate (UN-juh-late) — from the Latin for “wave” — is to move with a sinuous or wavelike motion.
Example (as used by Terrence Rafferty in a New York Times review of Memory Wall by Anthony Doerr): “[Doerr's] tales, long or short, all seem somehow to undulate, to surge and recede like the tides.”
