What does CREPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having a wrinkled, crinkled texture similar to crepe fabric, most often used of ageing skin.
Crepy describes a surface, most commonly skin, that has taken on the fine, crumpled wrinkling one sees in crepe fabric rather than smooth folds. Dermatologists and beauty writers use the word specifically for thin skin that has lost elasticity and now creases in small close lines, particularly on the arms, neck and under the eyes. The comparison comes directly from the textile: crepe cloth is woven so that it puckers into a permanently crinkled surface, and crepy skin does the same thing to a lesser degree. The word is spelled with one p, distinguishing it from creepy, an unrelated adjective about fear.
How CREPY is used
Used mainly in beauty and skincare writing to describe thin, finely wrinkled skin, and occasionally of paper or fabric with a similar texture.
