Etymology

The word 'ravelled' originates from the Middle English word 'raven', which meant to ravel or tangle. The term evolved in the late 14th century, taking on both the literal meaning of tangling threads and a more abstract sense of complex situations. Over time, 'ravel' has been used in both a positive context to describe the joy of travel and exploration, and in a negative context to indicate confusion or complexity. By the 16th century, its usage expanded in literature and formal writing, linking it to narratives of human experiences and understandings of journeys, whether they be physical travels across lands or metaphorical journeys through life.
