    Me listening to audiobooks, “he winded his way up the path”. I always say winded like winding a spool of thread, but hear it told like deprived of air from the narrators…

      That doesn’t sound correct. If you’re talking about breath, I would say “He became winded on his way up the path” or something like that. If you’re talking about traveling, I would say “He wound his way up the path.”
