Word origin

The word 'entwining' originates from the combination of the prefix 'en-' meaning 'to put into' and the Old English word 'twīnan' meaning 'to twine.' This reflects the idea of things becoming twisted or intertwined with each other. Over time, the word has evolved to symbolize the interconnection and close relationship between entities.
