WRITHED Meaning and
Definition
-
Writhed is a verb that refers to the physical act of twisting, contorting or squirming in pain, discomfort, or agony. It is commonly used to describe the involuntary movements of the body when experiencing severe physical distress.
When someone writhes, their body often moves in a manner that portrays their attempt to find relief or escape from an uncomfortable or painful situation. These movements are often characterized by a series of twisting, turning, or convulsive motions, indicating the intensity of the physical discomfort being felt. Writhing can involve various parts of the body, such as the face, limbs, or torso, depending on the source of the pain or distress.
This word can be used to describe both humans and animals, as both possess the ability to show distress through physical movements. For instance, a person experiencing severe abdominal pain may writhe in their bed, while an injured animal might writhe on the ground when attempting to flee from danger. It is important to note, however, that writhing typically indicates suffering or discomfort rather than intentional movement.
In a figurative sense, the word "writhed" can also be used to describe extreme emotional or mental anguish. It implies a state of intense internal turmoil or distress, in which an individual feels emotionally twisted or tormented.
