Bent and crooked cedar (5)
I believe the answer is:
arced
'bent' is the definition.
(arcing is a kind of bending)
'crooked cedar' is the wordplay.
'crooked' indicates anagramming the letters (a crooked or disrupted version of the letters).
'cedar' with letters rearranged gives 'ARCED'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for arced that I've seen before include "Cared about being curved" , "Forming a curve" , "Curvy" , "Discharged" , "made bow?" .)
