Word origin

The word 'wrinkling' is derived from the Old English term 'wrincan', which means 'to twist' or 'to bend'. Its usage has evolved over centuries, reflecting not only the physical changes observed in skin but also in textile materials. The notion of wrinkling has been prevalent since the early 14th century, gaining prominence in discussions about both age and attire. Historically, wrinkled fabrics were often associated with casual or informal wear, while smooth garments were tied to formality and status. In contemporary times, anti-wrinkle products have gained traction, demonstrating societal concerns about appearance and the aging process. Today, 'wrinkling' encompasses various meanings across contexts, from discussions about health and beauty to textiles and art.
