Trunk roots twisted (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

torso

'trunk' is the definition.
(both can mean a person's chest)

'roots twisted' is the wordplay.
'twisted' indicates an anagram.
'roots' anagrammed gives 'TORSO'.

(Other definitions for torso that I've seen before include "part of body will be found" , "Trunk of human body" , "Body's trunk" , "Trunk; headless, limbless body" , "unfinished work" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
