entwinement

/ɛntˈwaɪnmənt/ noun

A situation of being entwined; an entanglement.

Word Origin Twine comes from Proto-Germanic twīn- 'double thread' — think of two strands twisted together. Entwine adds en- 'in, into' to mean 'twist into,' and entwinement is the resulting state. The same root gives us intertwine and untwine. The -ment suffix marks a noun of action or result.
