Definition of wrinkling

wrinklingnoun

nhăn nheo

/ˈrɪŋklɪŋ//ˈrɪŋklɪŋ/

The origin of the word "wrinkling" can be traced back to the Old English word "hrincan," which means "to crease or crinkle." The Middle English form of the word, "wrinklen," is descended from this Old English root, and entered the English language around the 13th century. The original meaning of "wrinkling" remained largely unchanged over time, pertaining to the act of creasing or crumpling something through folding or passing through a narrow space. As the word evolved to describe the natural aging process of skin, its meaning shifted to encompass the visible signs of creasing and lines that appear on the face as a result of aging. Today, "wrinkling" is variously defined as the process or state of becoming wrinkled, or the appearance of wrinkles or fine lines on the skin due to aging or other factors such as exposure to sunlight or pollution. The term is primarily used in the context of cosmetics and skincare, as an indicator of aging or a motivator to seek medical treatments or beauty products that can help reduce or delay wrinkling.
