Strong string made of two or more strands twisted together; or to twist or coil something around something else.
From Old English 'twin' meaning 'double' or 'twisted,' related to German 'zwine.' The concept of two things becoming one through twisting is ancient across Germanic languages.
Twine is literally philosophy in a noun—two separate strands become stronger together than alone. DNA itself is a twine, climbing plants twine around supports, and rope manufacturers have used this principle for thousands of years.
