Etymology: "Scrumpling" is the present participle and gerund of "scrumple," a verb meaning to crumple something into wads. The verb itself is a variant of "scrumple," so the word's story belongs to that base form, and the -ing ending simply turns the action into a continuing process or a noun for it.
