crimplev.

Brit. /ˈkrɪmpl/, U.S. /ˈkrɪmp(ə)l/
Forms: Middle English–1500s crymple, 1500s– crimple.
Origin: Either (i) formed within English, by derivation. Or (ii) a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: crimp v.1, -le suffix 3; crumple v.
Etymology: Either < crimp v.1 + -le suffix 3, or a variant of crumple v.; compare also cremil v. With sense 2 perhaps compare also cripple n., cripple adj. Quot. 1440 at crimple n. probably implies earlier currency. In later use probably frequently apprehended as a variant of crumple v. with imitative motivation, the high front vowel conveying an impression of a finer, more attenuated sound or motion.It is very unlikely that y in any of the Middle English forms represents /y/ rather than simply /ɪ/.
