"...and sycamores with mottled, white, recumbent limbs and branchedthat arch
over the pool."
ch. 1 pg. 1 Steinbeck Centennial Edition Penguin
I really don't know what this means, but my guess is that it means bent.
A reference for vocabulary words in American Literature
I also think this means bent, or leaning because in the quote it uses the word arch, and that kind of gives you an idea of what recumbent may mean. Also the word recumbent has the word bent in it... ha, hello captian obvious?
ReplyDeleteRecumbent means lying down, reclining, leaning, inactive, or idle.
