Sinuousness can describe physical objects or movements, as well as abstract concepts or qualities. When applied to physical objects, it suggests a shape or form that is marked by a lack of straight lines or sharp angles, instead featuring a harmonious succession of gentle curves or bends.

In general, sinuousness embodies a sense of beauty, elegance, and flexibility, complemented by the absence of rigidity or abruptness.
