Curving or bending in shape; moving in a curved direction.
From Latin 'curvans,' present participle of 'curvare' (to bend or curve). This form emphasizes active bending rather than a static curved state.
Medieval heraldry used 'curvant' to describe animals in coats of arms that appear to be bending or moving—it's one of those specific technical terms that helped nobles precisely describe their family symbols!
