Buckle, say (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

warp

(Other definitions for warp that I've seen before include "Distort, ship's rope" , "'Bend out of shape, with heat say (4)'" , "Buckle" , "Of wood, twist under heat" , "Pervert - lengthways threads" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
