ENTWINE Meaning and
Definition
-
To entwine means to interlace or twist together in a manner that creates a complex, interconnected pattern or structure. This verb conveys the idea of combining or weaving two or more elements in a way that makes it difficult to untangle or separate them easily. It commonly refers to physical objects, such as strands of thread or branches, but can also be used metaphorically to describe abstract concepts or relationships.
In a literal sense, entwining involves the act of twisting or interweaving two or more objects to form a unified whole. For example, two pieces of rope can be entwined by braiding or interlocking them, creating a stronger rope that is difficult to pull apart. Similarly, vines or plants can entwine with each other, forming dense tangles or intricate patterns.
Metaphorically, entwining can describe the blending or linking of ideas, feelings, or relationships. It suggests a deep connection or integration between two or more abstract concepts. For instance, a storyteller might entwine different plot lines to create a rich and complex narrative. In romantic relationships, people may feel entwined, emotionally and mentally bound together, where their lives and experiences become closely interconnected.
Overall, entwining implies a sense of interconnectedness, melding, or fusion.
