Origin:
The word "weave" comes from an originally Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root webh-, meaning "to weave." This root has given rise to similar words in many Indo-European languages, including Sanskrit *vapati, Greek humnos, Latin texere, and Old Irish fi.
The PIE root *webh- is thought to be related to the root *wegh-, meaning "to bend or curve." This suggests that the original meaning of "weave" may have been "to create something by bending or interlacing."
Over time, the meaning of "weave" has expanded to include any process of creating fabric or other materials by interlacing threads or yarns. It has also come to be used figuratively, in the sense of "creating" or "inventing" something by combining different elements.
