Best Answer

Serpentine means "snake-like". The serpentine belt is the belt found on many vehicles that "snakes around and runs key components such as alternator, waterpump, Power Steering pump and air conditioner. It is a single belt that runs multiple components as opposed to vehicles without serpentine belts which usually have separate belts for each component. ie. alternator belt, power steering pump belt.
