the reason a long wrench beats a strong arm every single time
means The twisting or rotational force that tends to make something turn about an axis, measured as force times the distance from the pivot.
from From Latin torquere, "to twist" — the same root that gives us "torture" (a twisting of the body), "torment," and "torch" (originally twisted strands of tow). The noun "torque" was lifted directly into 19th-century physics to name twisting force, and the same Latin word lies behind "torc," the twisted metal neck-ring worn by ancient Celts.
