SCRUNCH Meaning and
Definition

Scrunch is a verb that typically refers to the action of crushing, squeezing, or compressing something, often resulting in a wrinkled or compacted appearance. It is a descriptive term denoting the act of tightly gathering or bunching up a material or object. It commonly implies a forceful, repetitive motion done with the hands, fingers, or feet.
In terms of physical appearance, scrunching typically involves folding, crumpling, or wrinkling a fabric, paper, or other flexible material, resulting in a compressed and uneven surface. It can also refer to the process of creating texture or waves in hair by squeezing sections together or tousling it with one's hands.
Additionally, scrunch can describe the sound or sensation produced when something is scrunched. It often suggests a soft, biting, or crunching noise, as well as the feeling of something being tightly compacted or crushed.
The term can also be used metaphorically to describe the act of squeezing or pressing something tightly together, such as scrunching one's face in concentration or scrunching up a piece of paper in frustration. In a figurative sense, it may convey a sense of tension or contraction, as in scrunching one's muscles or scrunching up into a small space.
