More puckered is an adjective used to describe something that is more tightly gathered or wrinkled, resulting in small folds or creases. The term "puckered" refers to the action or appearance of contracting or gathering together, often in a wrinkle-like manner. When something becomes more puckered, it means that it is exhibiting a greater degree of tightness or wrinkling than before.
This term is commonly used to describe various materials, such as fabrics or skin, which may exhibit puckering due to compression, tension, or contraction. For instance, if a piece of cloth or garment becomes more puckered, it means that it has developed additional creases or wrinkles, often due to shrinking, folding, or gathering. Similarly, if someone's skin becomes more puckered, it implies that it has become more wrinkled or gathered, typically as a result of age, dehydration, or other factors.
The term "more puckered" can also convey a sense of intensity or severity in describing the degree of wrinkling or gathering. It implies that the level of puckeriness has increased compared to a prior state. This can be used metaphorically to describe emotions, expressions, or physical conditions, suggesting that they have become more pronounced, compressed, or tense.
