• WREST
  • PROP., (vi) extorquere aliquid alicui (not ab aliquo, which is correct only of extorting money, corn, etc.): exprimere alicui aliquid: eripere alicui aliquid: per vim auferre alicui aliquid. To wrest anything out of anybody’s hands, extorquere aliquid de or ex manibus alicujus (but not de or ex aliquo); eripere de or e manibus alicujus.
  • Figuratively. To wrest the sense of anything, aliquid perverse interpretari: to wrest the meaning of a word, verbum in pejus detorquere.
