WRINKLING Meaning and Definition

  1. Wrinkling refers to the formation of creases, folds, or ridges on a surface, usually as a result of compression, contraction, or deformation. It is a physical phenomenon that commonly occurs in various materials, including fabrics, papers, metals, and biological tissues.

    In fabrics, wrinkling refers to the formation of folds or lines on the surface due to the bending or sagging of fibers. This can happen when the fabric is exposed to external factors such as heat, moisture, or pressure. Wrinkling is often associated with garments and textiles, and it may affect their aesthetics, texture, and overall appearance.

    In terms of papers and documents, wrinkling often occurs when the material is subjected to excessive moisture or when it undergoes improper handling that leads to folding or crumpling. Paper wrinkling can impair legibility and may cause structural damage, especially in sensitive documents.

    Metals can also experience wrinkling, particularly when certain stresses are applied during manufacturing processes or as a result of external forces. Wrinkling in metals can affect their mechanical properties and structural integrity.

    In biological tissues, wrinkling can refer to the formation of fine lines or folds on the skin caused by aging, repetitive movements, or various physiological processes. These wrinkles are often associated with aging and are commonly observed on the face, neck, and hands.

Etymology of WRINKLING

The word "wrinkling" is derived from the verb "wrinkle", which dates back to the late 14th century. The etymology of "wrinkle" can be traced back to the Middle English word "wringklen", which in turn comes from the Old English word "wringan" meaning "to wring" or "to press". This Old English root evolved from the Proto-Germanic word "wrankjanan", ultimately derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "*werǵ-" meaning "to turn" or "to bend". Over time, "wrinkle" came to specifically refer to a crease, furrow, or corrugation on a surface, often associated with aging or folding of fabric. "Wrinkling" is the present participle form of "wrinkle", indicating the ongoing action of forming or developing wrinkles.
