It’s a real word but it is used incorrectly. People should not rely on spell check to write their articles if they get paid as writers.

The root is tortoise I believe, meaning a slow mover and hard headed ( like a shell) or stubborn.

The word is not at the source. Maybe caught and changed after original was posted?

The word in the original article is TORTUOUS not tortious. It means having many twists and turns. Austin had a tortuous week.
