wrinkle
Fabric fold line
A wrinkle is a small ridge or crease in a surface, especially skin.
Wrinkles form in fabric when it's crumpled, and in faces as people age.
To wrinkle is to form such creases: She wrinkled her nose in disgust.
Figuratively, a wrinkle is a minor problem or complication: We need to iron out a few wrinkles before launch.
A wrinkle can also be a clever technique or new angle: Here's a wrinkle you might not have considered.
