entwinement
Twisted together state
Entwinement is the state of being entwined—twisted or woven together.
The word describes physical intertwining, as of vines or limbs, but more often appears in abstract contexts: the entwinement of politics and religion, their lives' entwinement over decades.
It suggests connection so thorough that separation becomes difficult or impossible.
