Definition
Capable of being twisted, bent, or changed out of its original shape or true meaning.
Etymology
From distort (Latin distorquere, 'to twist apart') plus -able. The word has been in English since the 1500s, describing things that can be twisted or warped.
Kelly Says
Words like 'distortable' reveal how physical and metaphorical meanings blend—you can physically distort a rubber band OR distort the truth. English lets the same word work in both spaces.
