Does anyone know of a word that means, to put words in someone's mouth?
The only word I could think of would be to misquote, but that is not exactly what I mean.
An example would be, "Every time I attempted to explain to her what I meant, she purposely misconstrued what I said, as if she was trying to put words in my mouth."
I'm looking for a word that means the act of misstating or misquoting someone, presumably with the intent to distort for their own advantage or motive.
Got any ideas?
Thanks for your help.
