intervolve

intervolve (in-tuhr-VOLV) - v., to involve within one another, to wind or twist together.


Can be transitive or in-. I think ropemaking would count, given the counter-twisting going on there. Coined in the 1660s from Latin roots inter- in the send of mutually/together + volvere, to roll.
