Ww: Wended



If the oranges hadn't wended their way northward by Thanksgiving, there were sure to arrive before the Christmas season, stacked first in crates at the depot, filling that musty place, where pews sat back to back, with a springtime acidity, as if the building had been rinsed with a renewing elixir that set it right for yet another year.

Wended

to make (one's way) in a particular direction: it's time to wend our way back home [Old English wendan]
