The National Hurricane Center reports that Tropical Storm Sean is "meandering" south of Bermuda. So what does "meander" mean? Should the people of Bermuda be worried? Is it a bad thing?
Yes and no. "Meander" means to move in a turning, winding course. It's the opposite of "direct." And not just hurricanes but people can do it. Every day, people meander through the mall, going here and there.
The word comes from a Greek name for a river that....well, meandered!
