interwoven
Threaded through each other
Interwoven describes things woven together, with strands or threads passing alternately over and under each other.
The word extends naturally to anything intertwined or closely connected: Their lives became interwoven over decades of friendship.
Interwoven suggests elements so thoroughly combined that separating them would be difficult or destructive to the whole.
