WIZEN Meaning and Definition

  1. Wizen is a verb that primarily means to become or make excessively wrinkled or shriveled, often due to age or illness. It refers to the process of transformation into a withered, dried-up, or shrunken state. This word is commonly used to describe the appearance of a person's face or skin, emphasizing its lack of vitality or vigor.

    In a broader sense, wizen can also describe the process of something becoming dry, shrunken, or faded. It can be used metaphorically to depict the loss of energy, vitality, or freshness in any entity or situation. For example, a wizen tree could refer to a tree that has lost its lushness and become weathered and brittle over time.

    The term wizen is derived from the Middle English word "wisnen," which means to wither or dry up. This word, in turn, can be traced back to the Middle Dutch word "wesenen" and ultimately to the Old High German word "wisanôn," meaning to dry up or wither.

    In conclusion, wizen is a verb that signifies the process of becoming wrinkled, shriveled, or dried up. Whether it pertains to the human face, plant life, or other objects, it conveys a sense of loss, aging, or decline.

  2. • To wither; to dry up.
