wrinkled
UK: ˈrɪŋkld | US: ˈrɪŋkəld
adj. having small lines or folds, especially on the skin or fabric
v. past tense and past participle of "wrinkle" (to create or develop small lines or folds)
The word "wrinkle" originates from Middle English wrinkel, likely derived from Old English gewrinclian (to wind, twist), which is related to wringan (to twist or wrench). The suffix -ed is added to form the past tense or an adjective, indicating a state of having wrinkles. The evolution reflects the physical action of twisting or folding, later metaphorically extended to describe lines on surfaces like skin or fabric.
