To untwist, straighten, or return something to its normal position after it has been twisted.
From Latin de- (reversal) + torquere (to twist). This is the root verb form of detorsion, following the same pattern as twist/torsion.
While 'detort' is rare in everyday English, it's the perfect word for describing what happens in surgery when doctors carefully restore twisted organs back to their proper position.
