DIMPLE Meaning and Definition

1. A dimple is a small indentation or hollow that forms on the surface of a person's skin, typically in the cheeks or chin when they smile or show an expression of joy. It is a naturally occurring feature characterized by a slight depression that creates a charming and distinct contour. Dimples are often considered attractive and add a touch of uniqueness to an individual's appearance.

   These tiny depressions are caused by variations in the underlying structure of the muscles and skin. Dimples are formed when certain facial muscles, such as the zygomaticus major, contract and pull the skin inward, creating the impression of a small hollow. They can be hereditary, with some people being genetically predisposed to have dimples, while others may develop them later in life due to changes in muscle tone or weight loss.

   Dimples are commonly associated with beauty and youthfulness. They are often seen as an endearing feature and can enhance the overall attractiveness of a person's face. Some individuals even consider dimples to be a desirable trait, leading to surgical procedures that artificially create dimples. This procedure involves creating small incisions in the cheeks and suturing the skin to create permanent dimples.

   Overall, dimples are small indentations that appear on the skin when certain facial muscles contract. They are widely regarded as an attractive feature, adding charm and character to a person's appearance.

2. • A small natural cavity in the cheek, chin, or other part of the face.

   • To mark with small cavities.

Etymology of DIMPLE

The word "dimple" has its origins in Middle English, derived from the Old English word "dympel". The Middle English spelling of the word was "dympull" or "dymple", and it eventually evolved into its current form. The root of the word can be traced back to the proto-Germanic word "dumbaz", meaning "deep place" or "hollow".
