ETYMOLOGY
from Latin contortuplicatus, from contortus (twisted together) + plicatus (folded)
EXAMPLE
“…Cruspini, who, in spite of his selfishness, is a shrewd dog, for a foreigner, says it is allowing to his violin; and he takes care that its influence shall not be wanting, for he eviscerates as much noise from its contortuplicated bowels, every day, as would disconcert a herd of swing remonstrating against a high wind…”

“Grey Joan”
