means To interlace threads, strips, or strands into a fabric or structure, or by extension to move in a winding path through obstacles or to combine elements into a connected whole.

from From Old English 'wefan,' to weave, rooted in a Proto-Germanic ancestor (compare German 'weben' and Dutch 'weven') and ultimately a Proto-Indo-European root meaning to weave or plait — a cousin of 'web' and 'weft.' The sense of weaving in and out of traffic is much younger, borrowing the loom's back-and-forth motion as a metaphor for dodging.
