CRUMBLED Meaning and Definition

1. The term "crumbled" refers to the action or state of breaking or collapsing into small, irregular pieces or fragments, often as a result of pressure, decay, or disintegration. The process of crumbling entails the gradual or sudden disintegration and separation of a solid object, substance, or structure into smaller, fragmented particles. It is typically characterized by the loss of coherence or compactness, resulting in a weakened or broken state.

   When something crumbles, it may completely fall apart or lose its original form, often resulting in a pile or collection of fragments. This disintegration can occur due to physical forces such as crushing, grinding, or weathering, as well as through the effects of time, erosion, or chemical reactions.

   The term "crumbled" is particularly associated with substances that have a solid or semi-solid nature, such as food products, building materials, rocks, or aged materials. For example, when bread becomes stale, it can crumble easily when touched or broken apart. Similarly, old buildings or structures may crumble over time due to decay or structural instability.

   Overall, "crumbled" is an adjective that describes the state or action of an object or substance breaking apart or losing cohesion, resulting in the formation of small and irregular fragments.

Etymology of CRUMBLED

The word "crumbled" is derived from the Middle English word "crombelen", which meant to break into small fragments. It further traces back to the Old English word "crymelan", meaning to break into pieces or crumble.
