The word undulate is profoundly beautiful. It means, as you may have deduced above, to move in or like waves. This is part of what makes the word so amazingly superbly brilliant. Waves themselves are somewhat beautiful. In undulate then, we have a profoundly beautiful word, describing a somewhat beautiful thing, in an amazingly superbly brilliant way.
Say it. Now. Uhn-due-late. It even sounds beautiful. It almost rolls of the tongue. The sound of the word itself actually undulates. As if this wasn't wonderful enough though, the way it appears on the page must be discussed.
Just look at it! Undulate. The word undulates across the page. Grab a pen and write it. Watch your hand as it moves - as it undulates.
It is the view of this researcher that undulate is one of the more beautiful words in the english language. This entry stands in recognition of that fact. Let this entry, then, be a shrine to undulate. If you have come to worship, please leave a message of prayer below.
Thank you.
