SHRIVELED Meaning and Definition

1. The term "shriveled" refers to the state of something that has become wrinkled, contracted, or dried up, often losing its original plumpness, elasticity, or vitality due to various factors. It is commonly used to describe the physical appearance or condition of an object, especially organic matter such as fruits, vegetables, or plants, as well as living organisms like animals or human beings.

   When an object becomes shriveled, it typically takes on a withered or deflated appearance, often characterized by a loss of moisture or volume. This can occur as a result of dehydration, exposure to heat or extreme weather conditions, or simply due to the passage of time. Shriveled fruits, for instance, may become smaller, wrinkled, and less juicy, while shriveled leaves can curl up, turn brown, and lose their vibrant color.

   In a metaphorical sense, the term "shriveled" can also be employed to describe something that has lost its liveliness, energy, or influence. For instance, a once-famous actress may be referred to as a "shriveled star" if she has faded into obscurity or lost her former allure. Similarly, the phrase can be used to describe a person's confidence or spirit that has diminished over time, as if wilted or dried up.

   Overall, "shriveled" denotes a physical or metaphorical decline from a previous state of vitality, often characterized by a loss of moisture, volume, or vigor.

Etymology of SHRIVELED

The word "shriveled" is derived from the Old English verb "screofan" which means "to contract, shrink, or shrivel". In Middle English, it evolved into the verb "shrivel" and later developed into the adjective form "shriveled" in the 16th century. The term is believed to have originated from the Proto-Germanic word "skrūbaną", which has the same meaning of contracting or shrinking. Ultimately, it traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root word "sker-", meaning "to turn, bend, or shrink".
