A winding or twisting path, or the act of winding around something in a sinuous manner.
From Latin 'anfractus,' meaning 'winding' or 'a turning around,' derived from 'ambi-' (around) + 'frangere' (to break). The term emphasizes the broken, irregular nature of the path.
Anfract is a rare word that scientists love—it describes the twisting patterns in shells, rivers, and even DNA, showing that nature prefers spirals and curves over straight lines!
