Question

What is the meaning of the word anfractuosity and how do you use it in a sentence?
Please help and more examples would be appreciated

Answer 1

'Anfractuosity' is a rare word, but a useful one to describe a maze-like jumble of any kind.

A channel, crevice or passage full of windings and turnings.
Not quite describing a maze, though some mazes certainly take on an anfractuous appearance, one that is sinuous or winding. The noun is rare enough that it is hard to find examples, the adjective almost equally so.

One sense is of a broken or jumbled landscape. T S Eliot used this in his poem Sweeny Erect: “Paint me the bold anfractuous rocks / Faced by the snarled and yelping seas”. Another comes from the nineteenth-century interest in phrenology, reading character by the shape of the head, supposedly reflecting that of the brain beneath; the anfractuosities in this case were the convolutions of the surface of the brain.

PS it'a an anglicised French word, in French it just means a cave
