intertwine

Twist around each

To intertwine is to twist or weave together, with each element winding around the others: Their fingers intertwined.

The word often describes abstract connections—intertwined fates, intertwined histories, intertwined economies.

Things that intertwine become difficult to separate, suggesting deep or complicated involvement: Her personal and professional lives had become hopelessly intertwined.
