Convolve: “To roll or wind together; coil; twist”
Saw this word in an article about a surfer in Outside Magazine. Didn’t know what it meant, and it’s been bugging me ever since. As you can see, it does not mean to “evolve at the same time,” a logical guess.
Also marks the departure from my fascination with German words. But don’t worry, I shall return. Until then, auf wiedersehen.





I love how feature word definitions…especially since I’m too lazy to ever look anything up. I’ve already learned so much from one look at your site…keep up the great work. I am so enjoying your writing.

Mountain Mamma,
Thank you for adding a healthy dose of political savvy, literacy and linguistics to my daily routine.
Cheers,
