'winding force in' is the definition.
'torsion' can be an answer for 'winding' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'force in' bit.

'trio son composed' is the wordplay.
'composed' indicates an anagram.
'trio'+'son'='trioson'
'trioson' is an anagram of 'TORSION'.

(Other definitions for torsion that I've seen before include "Process of twisting" , "White-berried parasite" , "Tortuous and twisted shape or position" , "Twisting force" , "Twisting action" .)
