Cognate: 4761 streblóō ("from 4762 /stréphō, 'twist, turn,' " J. Thayer) – "properly, 'to twist, causing torture'; (figuratively) to twist (pervert) language" (A-S). See 4762 (strephō).

M. Vincent, "4761 /streblóō ('to wrest, twist') is applied to perverting (twisting) Scripture" (used only in 2 Pet 3:16).

[The noun-form (streblē) literally refers to an instrument of torture ("a winch"). Hence 4761 /streblóō ("twist, wrest") implies "to torture; put to the rack," i.e. to twist or dislocate (like limbs on a torture rack).]
