Usage Note
Snodare literally means to undo a knot (nodo) or loosen a joint, so a giunto snodabile is a 'swivel joint'. Figuratively snodarsi (reflexive) describes something unfolding or winding: la strada si snoda tra le colline ('the road winds through the hills'). Takes avere transitively, essere reflexively.
Examples
"La strada si snoda tra le colline verdi."
