Definition

Wrinklier is an adjective derived from the noun "wrinkle," which refers to a small crease, fold, or ridge on a surface, particularly when it is formed due to age, wear, or contraction. The term "wrinklier" describes a comparative state, suggesting that something or someone has more wrinkles or creases than another object or individual.
In the context of physical appearance or texture, "wrinklier" characterizes a condition of having a greater number or depth of wrinkles. Maturity and aging are often associated with the development of wrinkles, and this term can be used to describe the progressive increase in creases. For example, when referring to skin, "wrinklier" indicates that more lines or folds have formed over time, illustrating signs of aging.
"Wrinklier" can also metaphorically describe objects or surfaces that exhibit a similar textural quality to wrinkles.
