warp, bend, strained, distort
歪 centers on something that is not straight or true: warped, bent, strained, or distorted from its proper shape.
歪 combines 不 (not) and 正 (correct/straight) to express the idea of something not straight, i.e., warped or distorted. This is a straightforward semantic compound.
The top 不 means 'not' and the bottom 正 means 'correct' or 'straight'. Together they show something that is not straight: warped, bent, or distorted.
For ワイ, imagine a warped wire that is bent into a Y shape: wire -> ワイ, and the wire is not straight.
