EN: to bend into a curve; to make crooked
This is what happens to your spine after an 8-hour shift hunched over your laptop. It's the action of bending a straight wire to make a hook. It can also be used figuratively, like when a story gets twisted. "Huwag mong ibalikuko ang katotohanan." (Don't bend the truth.)
From `i-` (causative prefix) + `balikuko` (crooked, bent).
Less common than `baluktutin`. Often refers to making something that was straight into a bent or curved shape.
