Crossword Genius

Daughter is wrong to twist (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

distort

'twist' is the definition.
(distorting is a kind of twisting)

'daughter is wrong' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'dis' (I've seen this in other clues).
'is wrong' becomes 'tort' (legal term).
'dis'+'tort'='DISTORT'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for distort that I've seen before include "Warp" , "turn crooked" , "bend" , "Misrepresent" , "Twist out of shape" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
