For instance, in a physical sense, one might describe a "beygðan vegur" as a bent or winding road. Similarly, a piece of metal that has been deformed could be described as "beygðan." The term can also be applied metaphorically. A "beygð" will or intention might suggest something that has been subtly altered or compromised.
