Tense women with exotic diets getting misrepresented (7)
I believe the answer is:
twisted
'misrepresented' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'tense women with exotic diets' is the wordplay.
'tense' becomes 't' (abbreviation used in many dictionaries).
'women' becomes 'w'.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'exotic' is an anagram indicator.
'diets' is an anagram of 'isted'.
't'+'w'+'isted'='TWISTED'
'getting' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for twisted that I've seen before include "Emotionally unbalanced" , "Bent, distorted" , "Coiled; distorted" , "Tortuous - deformed" , "like a pervert?" .)
