Etymology
The word crinkled comes from a simple sound word like crink, the little crackling noise you hear when dry paper or leaves move, and a helpful way to remember it is to hear that soft 'crink' in your head. It is like the word wrinkle, which means a 'small fold', so crinkled describes a surface covered in tiny creases or waves.
