crumplev.

/ˈkrʌmp(ə)l/

Forms: Also Middle English–1500s cromple, crompyl, crompull.

Etymology: In form, a diminutive and iterative of crump v.¹, for the affinities of which see Note to cramp n.¹ As Old English y frequently gave later u, crumple might arise merely as a later form of crymple, crimple; but the historical evidence does not favour this. Found first in past participle, which might belong either to an intransitive or transitive verb (compare withered , faded ); see crumpled adj.

1. intransitive. To become incurved or crushed together; to contract and shrivel up; to become creased or wrinkled by being crushed together.
