Background / Comments

I am familiar with the verb undulate (to form or move in waves). I did not know that it was also used as an adjective in the early to mid-1600s, but it isn’t used much today; our word is used instead. I was aware of the first definition (due to my familiarity with the verb form), but the second definition was unknown to me.
