2 meanings of bunched

1
verb
Simple past and past participle of bunch.

Note
One spelling does double duty here, covering both the simple past and the participle. Because bunch works both transitively and intransitively, the participle appears in two kinds of construction. It can be passive (the fabric was bunched at the waist) or perfect without an object (the riders had bunched near the bridge). Placed before a noun, it settles into the "clustered" adjective, as in bunched stems.
