entwined
Twisted around another
Entwined means twisted or woven together, like vines climbing a trellis or fingers interlaced.
The word often describes things physically wrapped around each other: Their arms were entwined.
Figuratively, entwined suggests deep connection or inseparability: Their fates were entwined from the beginning, a story entwined with themes of loss and redemption.
