Origin of the word crumpled

The word "crumpled" originated from the Middle English word "cromplen," which meant "to bend, fold, or wrinkle." This word, in turn, derived from the Old English word "crom," meaning "bent" or "curved." The "crumpled" we know today emerged from the verb "crumple," which arose from "cromplen" in the 16th century. Over time, "crumple" became more common, and "crumpled" became its past participle, describing something that has been folded or wrinkled.
