distortable
Able to twist
Distortable describes something capable of being distorted—twisted, misrepresented, or pulled out of shape.
Physical materials may be distortable under pressure; facts and statements are distortable through selective quotation or spin: The data was easily distortable to support either conclusion.
The word appears most often in technical and academic contexts.
