How Do You Spell PUCKER?

Pronunciation: [pˈʌkə] (IPA)

The word "pucker" is spelled with a "ck" instead of a "k" due to a phonetic rule in English. When the "k" sound comes after a short vowel sound, it is spelled with a "ck" instead of just a "k". In IPA, the pronunciation of "pucker" is /ˈpʌkər/. The "ˈ" indicates the primary stress on the first syllable, "pʌ" represents the short "u" sound, and "kər" represents the "ck-er" ending. This word most commonly refers to the puckering or wrinkling of skin, fabric, or other material.

PUCKER Meaning and Definition

1. Pucker is a verb that refers to the action of forming wrinkles or small folds, typically on a surface, by contracting or tightening it. It can also mean to gather or wrinkle something into small folds intentionally, often by pulling or pressing it together. When an object or material is puckered, it has small, tight folds or wrinkles.

   In terms of physiology, pucker can describe the contraction or tightening of certain muscles, particularly those around the mouth or eyes. For example, when someone puckers their lips, they press them tightly together in a small, rounded shape.

   Additionally, pucker can be used as a noun to describe the resulting wrinkle or fold that is formed on a surface when it is puckered. This can be seen in fabrics or paper that have been gathered or pleated.

   The term pucker is frequently associated with sour tastes or expressions of disapproval. When someone tastes something extremely sour, they often involuntarily pucker their mouth and face as a reaction. Similarly, when someone is displeased or unhappy, they may display a similarly contracted expression known as a pucker.

2. • A fold or wrinkle.

   • To gather into small folds or wrinkles, applied to cloth; to rumple.

   • A fold or wrinkle; a collection of folds.

Etymology of PUCKER

The word "pucker" originated in the late 16th century and its etymology can be traced back to the Middle English word "pokkeren", which meant "to pluck or winkle out".

Over time, the meaning of "pucker" transformed to refer to the action of contracting or wrinkling one's lips or skin, giving rise to the current usage of the word.
