词源：
warp (v.)”to bend, twist, distort,” Old English weorpan “to throw, throw away, hit with a missile,” from Proto-Germanic *werpanan “to fling by turning the arm” (source also of Old Saxon werpan, Old Norse verpa “to throw,” Swedish värpa “to lay eggs,” Old Frisian werpa, Middle Low German and Dutch werpen, German werfen, Gothic wairpan “to throw”), from PIE *werp- “to turn, wind, bend” (source also of Latin verber “whip, rod”), from root *wer- (2) “to turn, bend.”
Connection between “turning” and “throwing” is perhaps in the notion of rotating the arm in the act of throwing; compare Old Church Slavonic vrešti “to throw,” from the same PIE root. The meaning “twist out of shape” is first recorded c. 1400; intransitive sense is from mid-15c. Related: Warped; warping.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
warp (v.)“弯曲、扭转、扭曲”，古英语 weorpan “投掷、扔掉、用导弹击中”，源自原始日耳曼语 *werpanan “通过转动手臂来投掷”（也源自古撒克逊语） werpan，古挪威语 verpa “投掷”，瑞典语 värpa “产蛋”，古弗里斯兰语 werpa，中古低地德语和荷兰语 werpen，德语 werfen，哥特语 wairpan “去throw”），源自 PIE *werp- “转动、风吹、弯曲”（也源自拉丁语动词“鞭子、杆”），源自词根 *wer- (2) “转动、弯曲”。 “转动”和“投掷”之间的联系可能在于投掷动作中旋转手臂的概念；比较古教会斯拉夫语 vrešti “投掷”，来自同一个 PIE 词根。 “扭曲变形”的含义首次被记录在c。 1400；不及物意义是从15世纪中期开始的。相关：翘曲；变形。相关条目及更多
