Susan Hawthorne #331 gathering words


 a sign in English says
that prisoners might
tergiversate information
I have never heard this word
look up the Spanish dictionary
where I find tergiversare
which means to distort

why did the translator use
such an odd word in English
is the word itself a case
of tergiversación?
something hidden
not said
silenced
itself distorted?
