CORRU'GIS. Literally wrinkled; but it is applied to the plaits of a loose garment (sinus corrugis, Nemes. Cyneg. 93.), produced by tieing a girdle round it (see the figures in the opposite column); or to the irregular and transverse folds created by throwing up a portion over the shoulder, instead of leaving it pendant, as seen on the right side of the figure s. CONTABULATIO.
