Origin
The word "frounce" comes from the Old French word froncer, which means "to gather into wrinkles or folds." This word is in turn derived from the Latin word frontis, which means "forehead." The original meaning of "frounce" was therefore to gather fabric into the kind of wrinkles that are often seen on the forehead.
Over time, the meaning of "frounce" has been extended to include any kind of gathering or pleating of fabric, as well as the wrinkles and creases that can occur in the face, skin, or clothing. It can also be used figuratively to describe the curling or pouting of the lips.
