RUMPLING Meaning and
Definition
-
Rumpling is a verb that refers to the act of wrinkling, creasing, or tousling something, typically a fabric, in a way that causes it to become disorderly or disheveled. It involves the intentional or unintentional action of causing folds or irregularities in the surface of an object.
When applied to fabrics or clothing, rumpling often occurs as a result of handling, movement, or compression, creating a crumpled or uneven appearance. This can happen when clothes are stored, worn, or not properly cared for, causing them to lose their smooth, crisp, or neat appearance.
Rumpling can also be used to describe the act of messing up or disarranging something intentionally or accidentally. For example, rumpling a sheet of paper involves intentionally crumpling or folding it in a way that disrupts its original form.
The term "rumple" can also be used as a noun to refer to the actual creases, wrinkles, or folds that are formed as a result of rumpling. These rumple marks are often temporary and can be smoothed out or eliminated by ironing or flattening the object.
Overall, the action of rumpling involves causing wrinkles, folds, or disorder in a material, often resulting in a less-than-smooth or untidy appearance.

Etymology of RUMPLING
The word "rumpling" is derived from the verb "rumple".
The origin of "rumple" can be traced back to Middle English around the 14th century. It has roots in the Old Norse word "hrumple", which means to wrinkle or crumple. In turn, "hrumple" can be linked to the Proto-Germanic word "hrumpjaną" and the Proto-Indo-European root "*kreup-", both of which imply a similar notion of bending or curving.
Over time, "rumple" evolved into "rumpling", the present participle form of the verb. The suffix -ing adds the concept of ongoing action or continuous state. Therefore, "rumpling" refers to the act of causing wrinkles or creases, or the state of being wrinkled or crumpled.
