prettygoodwordanfractuous (an-FRAK-choo-uhs) - adj., full of twists and turns, windy, tortuous.
Could be a river, could be a plotty novel, could be a convoluted argument. Adopted in the 1610s from French anfractueux, from Late Latin anfractuĊsus, from from Latin anfractus, a digression, lit. a bend/coil/curve, from ambi-, around, + fractus, from frangere to break.
