From en- + gurruñir (“to wrinkle, shrink”), or from en- + gurruñar, from gurruño (“a crumpled piece, wad”), from an older variant curruño, from Latin *corruniare (“to fold or curve together”), from con- (“together”) + a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to turn, bend”). Compare Galician engurruñar and Portuguese engorrunhar.
