核心畫面
Take something flat and squeeze it hard between two edges. It cannot stay flat: it draws together and comes out bent into small tight folds. That single squeeze is the whole word. Sometimes the folds are the point, as on the edge of a pie; sometimes the bite is the point, as on a metal sleeve round a wire; and sometimes it is a hand that has to fold up that way on a tiny hold.

可以想成把一樣平的東西，用兩個邊夾住，用力一壓。它沒辦法再保持平的。它會被拉在一起，壓出一排又小又緊的摺。整個字就是這一壓。有時候重點在那排摺，像派皮的邊。有時候重點在那一口咬住，像套在電線上的金屬套。有時候要折起來的是自己的手，因為岩點只有指尖那麼寬。From the word’s history
Middle English crimpen meant to be contracted or drawn together, from Middle Dutch crimpen and a Germanic root meaning to shrink or draw back. That old meaning is still the picture: whatever is crimped is pulled in on itself instead of lying flat.
中古英語 crimpen 的意思是「被拉在一起、縮起來」，來自中古荷蘭語 crimpen，再往上是日耳曼語「收縮、往回縮」的字根。這個老意思就是今天的畫面：被 crimp 過的東西，都是往內縮成一團，不再攤平。
