Origin of the word entwine

The word "entwine" traces its roots back to Old English, specifically the words "in" (meaning "in" or "into") and "twinan" (meaning "to twist"). "Twinan" itself is related to the Proto-Germanic word "twi-na-", which also means "to twist." This shared origin highlights the core meaning of entwining: to twist or interlace together. Over time, the word "entwine" has come to encompass a broader meaning, signifying not just physical intertwining but also a sense of interconnectedness and mutual dependence.
