Twister's inaccurate quote about the ruling head (6)
I believe the answer is:
torque
'twister's' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both types of natural phenomena as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'inaccurate quote about the ruling head' is the wordplay.
'inaccurate' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'head' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'ruling' is 'r'.
'quote' with letters rearranged gives 'toque'.
'toque' placed around 'r' is 'TORQUE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for torque that I've seen before include "Twisting force; metal necklace" , "Metal necklace; also a measure of force" , "Source of spin" , "measure of twist" , "Turning force" .)
