CRUMPLES Meaning and
Definition
-
Crumples, in verb form, refers to the action of collapsing or compressing something forcefully, resulting in a wrinkled or folded appearance. It typically describes the process by which an object or material, particularly something flexible or pliable, undergoes deformation due to external pressure or force applied to it.
When an item crumples, it means that its structure or shape has been altered, usually leading to a loss of uniformity or smoothness. This term is commonly used when referring to materials such as paper, fabrics, or foils, which are easily malleable or can easily lose their original form under pressure. For example, when a sheet of paper is crumpled, it becomes wrinkled and loses its flatness, thereby transforming its appearance.
The degree to which something crumples can vary, depending on the force applied or the material involved. A gentle crumpling may result in minor creases or folds, while a more forceful crumpling can cause more pronounced and permanent damages, such as tearing or ripping.
The term "crumples" is often associated with physical objects, but it can also be used metaphorically to describe situations or emotions. For instance, one might say that someone's plans or hopes have crumpled, implying that they have been disrupted, diminished, or rendered unsuccessful. Similarly, one may say that a person's self-esteem crumples under criticism, meaning it becomes severely affected or damaged.
