Etymology
The term 'winkled' is derived from the Old English word 'wincian', which means to flicker or to wink. The connection between the word and the appearance of wrinkles lies in the visual aspect of folding and creasing. Over time, as language evolved, 'winkled' adopted a more specific use to describe the texture of skin and other materials. As aging became more associated with changes in skin texture, the word 'winkled' became a common way to characterize this aspect of aging. Language scholars also note that similar terms exist in various languages, alluding to the universal nature of aging and the physiological changes it brings, making 'winkled' a word rich in meaning and context.
