Capable of being tangled or twisted together in a confused way.
Formed from 'entangle' plus the suffix '-able' (meaning 'capable of' or 'able to be'), following standard English word-formation patterns from the 16th century onward.
The '-able' suffix is one of English's most productive tools—you can theoretically add it to almost any verb (readable, walkable, questionable), creating new adjectives that describe what something can undergo.
