Etymology
The word 'wrinklier' originates from the base adjective 'wrinkly', which itself is formed from the noun 'wrinkle', dating back to the Middle English period. The term 'wrinkle' comes from the Old English 'wrincle', which was used to describe a twist or a fold. The suffix '-y' in 'wrinkly' indicates a quality of having wrinkles. The comparative form '-lier' is added to describe an increase in the feature of having wrinkles. This morphological construction is common in English, where adjectives can be made comparative by adding '-er' or '-lier'. Over time, the use of 'wrinklier' has become more prominent in discussions around aging, beauty standards, and fabric quality.
