Intertwined vs interwind
What is the difference between intertwined and interwind? Especially when used talking about abstract subject matters.
For example, should one say: "love begins when admiration and trust .........." interwind or intertwine?

Hi Earthling! Can you be more specific as to what is unclear to you after referencing the definitions for these words?

Have you looked up each word in a dictionary? What did you find? What are the differences between the two definitions? When using either word abstractly, you're using it as a metaphor, so there's no right or wrong, there's simply the particular sense you wish to convey. NB interwind is uncommon...

I can find "intertwined" in more dictionaries than "interwind" (which my spell-check flags up as wrong), but a quick lookup on Merriam-Webster reveals
interwind (verb)
intertwine, intervolve
and on dictionary.com
interwind (verb)
to wind together; intertwine.
In conclusion, they are interchangeable in meaning, but "intertwined" appears to be more frequently used.
