Dimply refers to having small depressions or slight indentations on the surface, often in a regular pattern or arrangement. It is an adjective that is used to describe objects, surfaces, or textures that exhibit the characteristic of being marked with small dents or hollows.
The term "dimply" commonly applies to the physical appearance of a surface, particularly when it is covered with numerous small, round, or oval concavities. These indentations can be regular or irregular in size and shape, creating a visual effect akin to a series of small hollows or depressions. Dimply surfaces often evoke a sense of texture and visual interest, adding depth and complexity to an otherwise smooth or flat surface.
The word can be used to describe various objects and materials, including skin, fabrics, metals, plastics, ceramics, and more. For example, a dimply face might be one with small, gently indented cheeks or a dimply fabric could have a textured pattern with numerous small dents or depressions. In the context of anatomical features, dimples on cheeks are conversely considered a desirable and attractive trait.
Overall, "dimply" describes a surface or texture that displays small, regular, and shallow indentations or hollows, contributing to its appearance of depth and texture.

The word dimply is derived from the noun dimple, which first appeared in Middle English around the 14th century. The exact etymology of dimple is uncertain, but it is believed to have come from Old Norse, where the term dumple meant a small hollow or low, rounded hill. This Norse word may have been influenced by Middle Dutch dumpe, which carried a similar meaning. Over time, dimple came to refer to a small depression or indentation in a person's skin, particularly on the face, which eventually led to the creation of the adjective dimply.
