Definition
Having small waves, ridges, or folds; characterized by the texture created by crimping.
Etymology
Adjective form derived from 'crimp' with the suffix '-y,' which creates adjectives describing something that has a particular quality or is full of something. Related to Middle Dutch 'krimpen.'
Kelly Says
The word 'crimpy' appears in fashion and textile industries constantly, but it's interesting that the '-y' suffix lets us describe textures subjectively—'crimpy' hair means different things to different people depending on how tightly the waves are formed.
