More mature rivers tend to flow slower, have more tributaries and tend to erode its banks instead of the river bed. Old rivers tend to be associated with flood plains. Rivers that flow through mountains do not meander as much (the mountains resist bend formation) and form braided patterns instead.

1576 (n.) "confusion, intricacies," from L. meander, from Gk. Maiandros, name of a river in Phrygia, noted for its winding course. The verb meaning "to flow in a winding course" (of rivers) is attested from c.1612. Of a person, "to wander aimlessly" (1831) it is perhaps confused with maunder (q.v.).
