A meander is best described as a river or stream that has eroded its banks such that it no longer flows in a relatively straight path , but rather is a winding (perhaps S-shaped) path.

A meander is a bend in a river or stream formed by erosion and sediment deposition. The outer bank erodes due to faster water flow, while sediment settles on the inner bank, creating features like cut banks and point bars. Over time, these features can lead to the formation of oxbow lakes and change the river's landscape.
