وَأَنت إِذا تدبرت الْقُرْآن وأجرته من التحريف
And when you reflect on the Quran and protect it from distortion,
التَّحْرِيفِ — distortion. A verbal noun 'twisting / alteration', genitive after 'from', definite. The corruption of meaning the reader keeps it free of.
From: God's Majesty →وَتَحْرِيفٌ وَخَطَأٌ فِي التَّعْرِيبِ،
and a distortion and an error in the Arabic rendering,
وَتَحْرِيفٌ — and distortion. 'Wa-' joins this noun to the previous verdict 'an error' as a coordinated second judgement. The core noun 'distortion' carries the indefinite -un ending (audible tanween); the pattern of the word implies altering or twisting, sharpening the charge beyond mere mistake.
