CURLED Meaning and
Definition
-
Curled is an adjective that describes something with a curved or rounded shape, often referring to hair or certain objects. It commonly implies a twisting or a turning motion that causes the shape to become curved or rounded. When applied to hair, it indicates that the strands have been twisted or wound around something, resulting in a spiral or wave-like formation. This can occur naturally or through artificial means like curling irons or rollers.
When applied to objects, curled suggests that the material or surface has bended or twisted in a rounded manner. This can be seen in the natural curling of paper, where the edges bend inward, or the curled shapes of certain plants or vines.
Additionally, curled can describe the body posture or body parts of certain animals such as cats or dogs. It refers to the act of bending or drawing a part of the body inward, creating a curved or coiled shape. For instance, a cat may curl its tail around its body, or a dog may curl its limbs and tuck its head while sleeping.
Overall, curled denotes a curved or rounded shape achieved through twisting, bending, or turning, whether it be applied to hair, objects, or the posture of animals.
