Etymology

From contort + -able.

Meanings

1. Able to contort; flexible, malleable.
   • This is the imaginative labor that our extended nervous system demands of us. Without that labor, information remains an abstract clay, endlessly contortable for those who might benefit from its adjustment and eternally delightful to those who prefer a malleable dream world to a concrete reality. 2025 August 11, Trevor Quirk, “I Never Understood Our Data-Saturated Life Until a Hurricane Shut It Down”, in The New York Times Magazine, New York, N.Y.: The New York Times Company, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 11 Aug 2025:
