to catch or trap something in or as if in a mesh; to involve someone in a complicated situation.
From en- + mesh (from Old French meche or Middle Dutch masche meaning 'net' or 'mesh'). The prefix creates a verb meaning to entangle or involve deeply.
Ecologists use 'enmesh' to describe how different species become interconnected in ecosystems—one animal's survival becomes enmeshed with another's in ways we're only beginning to fully understand, revealing nature as an intricate web not a simple chain.
