means Covered in small creases or folds, the way skin, fabric, or paper looks when it's been bent, aged, or left in a heap.
from From "wrinkle," a knot of an old word: Middle English had the verb to "wrinkle" (to crease), likely tied to Old English "gewrinclod," meaning twisted or wound up — a cousin of words about winding and bending. The "-y" tacked on at the end is the same homely English suffix that turns dirt into dirty and luck into lucky, so "wrinkly" simply means full of wrinkles.
