EN: to make into a rope; to twist into a rope
The act of creating order from chaos. You take a bunch of flimsy, separate strands—like different chismis from your Marites friends—and you twist them together to make one strong, solid narrative (or rope). It's the OG 'connect the dots' but for fibers.
ROOT MEANING: rope
Can also be used figuratively to mean 'to twist a story' or 'to complicate an issue'.
