Wending Our Way Home

Does anyone ever say "wending" in today's world?

It's a perfectly good word with a specific meaning.

Here's how the dictionary defines wending: "Go in a specified direction, typically slowly or by an indirect route."

Meander is a good synonym for wending, but it doesn't have the panache of wending.

We're heading home—meandering all over the place to see whatever strikes our fancy. Thus, I choose to say we're wending our way home.

Takeaway Truth

Adopt the word wending. Use it in a sentence or in your writing.
