distortion, misrepresentation (false representation so as to injure someone's character etc) · perversion, sexual deviance (sexual practice or act considered abnormal)
çekim: çoğul διαστροφές · tamlayan διαστροφής
eş: ανωμαλία, παρέκκλιση
köken: From Ancient Greek διαστροφή (diastrophḗ), from the verb διαστρέφω (diastréphō, “to distort, to pervert”).
Έγινε διαστροφή του κειμένου, προκειμένου να φανεί ανίκανος.
köken: Unclear. DIL suggests a compound equivalent to rá (“speaking”) + buile (“madness, frenzy”), but the preponderance of mh spellings casts doubt on this hypothesis. A connection with English rave is possible but leaves the -aille unexplained.
