entwining
Coiling around another
Entwining is wrapping or weaving together, twisting around something or each other: vines entwining the trellis, their fingers entwining.
The word suggests intimate, often beautiful connection—lovers' limbs, intertwined fates, stories that wind together.
What entwines becomes difficult to separate.
