the state where two strands agreed to never speak straight again.
means Tied or tangled into knots, or twisted up tightly — whether describing rope, muscles, stomachs, or nerves.
from From Old English 'cnotta,' a knot or fastening, with Germanic cousins like Dutch 'knot' and German 'Knoten.' The same family gave us 'knit' and possibly 'knob' — a cluster of words built around the idea of small, hard, bound-up lumps. 'Knotted' is simply the past participle put to work as an adjective: a thing that has been knotted and now must live with the consequences. The silent 'k,' once pronounced, is a fossil of older English speech, when you really did say the 'k-not.'
