Ensnarls

/ɪnˈsnɑːrlz/ verb

Etymology

From 'ensnarl' with the third-person singular present suffix '-s,' following standard English verb conjugation.

Kelly Says

Like 'ensnare,' the verb 'ensnarl' allows writers to describe predicaments without naming a personal agent—'bureaucracy ensnarls the applicant'—which can paradoxically both obscure and reveal systemic injustice.
