fonódást

Fonódás is a Hungarian noun describing the process or result of interweaving, braiding, or becoming entangled. It derives from the verb fonódik ("to become braided") and the root fon ("to weave"). The term is used primarily in textile and craft contexts but is also employed metaphorically to describe complex interconnections and entanglements in other domains.

In textile practice, fonódás refers to the way fibers and threads are interlaced to form fabrics, cords, or braids. It covers methods from simple plaiting and braiding to more elaborate weaving patterns, where threads cross in specific sequences. The process can be performed by hand or by mechanical loom or braiding machinery. The craftsmen who work with fibers to produce woven or braided items are typically described as fonók (weavers/braiders), and the resulting products may be described as woven or braided through a fonódás-based technique.

Metaphorically, fonódás is used to describe how things become interconnected or intertwined over time, such as social networks, economic relationships, or historical events that influence one another. In this sense, it denotes a dense, interwoven arrangement rather than a simple, linear sequence.

Related terms include fonás (braiding or weaving), fonó (a person who weaves or braids), and kötés (knitting or knotting), which share the thematic core of joining strands into a coherent whole.
