Sharp twist in a hosepipe, eg (4)

I believe the answer is:

kink

(Other definitions for kink that I've seen before include "Sharp twist in wire or hair, perhaps" , "Eccentricity" , "Constricting bend in pipe" , "Sharp bend (in a wire) - quirk" , "Mental quirk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
