two strands too weak alone, unbreakable once they decide to twist together.
means Twine is a strong, thin string made by twisting two or more strands together, used for tying and binding.
from From Old English 'twīn,' meaning a doubled or twisted thread, which traces back to the root for 'two' — the same ancient strand that gives us 'twin,' 'twist,' and 'between.' The word literally carries its method in its bones: to twine is to make 'two' into one, the number folded into the cord. It shares deep kinship with German 'Zwirn' (twisted thread), and the verb sense — to wind and intertwine — grew naturally from the noun, since you cannot name a twisted thing for long without naming the twisting too.
