tortuous / torturous Don't torture yourself trying to remember the difference between tortuous and torturous. Tortuous describes something like the long and winding road. But torturous is what a room full of masochists might say: Torture us! It describes something painful, like a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Tortuous, pronounced TOR-choo-us, describes something that has many twists and turns, like a zigzagging road or the plot of a soap opera.
