przekrcenie

Przekręcenie is a Polish noun derived from the verb przekręcić, meaning to turn or twist. The core sense covers the act of turning something around an axis or rotating it. Literally, it can describe actions such as turning a key, flipping a page, or rotating an object. In technical or applied contexts it may refer to rotation or change of orientation of components, gears, or images.

In figurative usage, przekręcenie denotes distortion or misrepresentation. Phrases such as przekręcać fakty (to twist or distort the facts) or przekręcenie informacji (distortion of information) describe presenting something in a misleading way. The term can also indicate an unexpected or dramatic twist in a narrative or sequence of events.

The term is used across various domains, from everyday speech to formal writing. Related terms include obrócenie (rotation or turning over), odwrócenie (reversal), and skręcenie (twisting or bending), each carrying nuance dependent on context. See also: obrócenie, odwrócenie, skręcenie.
