Etymology
1. 1387 (in
wrinkling), probably from stem of O.E.
gewrinclod "wrinkled, crooked, winding," pp. of
gewrinclian "to wind, crease," from perfective prefix
ge- +
-wrinclian "to wind," from P.Gmc.
*wrankjan (see wrench (v.)). Meaning "defect, problem" first recorded 1643; that of "idea, device, notion" (especially a new one) is from 1817. The verb is attested from 1528.
2. From Middle English wrynklen, wrinklen (“to wrinkle”), from Old English *wrinclian (attested in past participle ġewrinclod (“wrinkled, crooked, winding”)). Cognate with Middle Dutch wronckelen, wrinckelen (“to wind, wrap, meander”), modern dialectal Dutch wrinkelen (“to wrinkle”). Compare also Middle English runklen (“to wrinkle, become wrinkled”). See: Dutch '
wrinkelen'.
