語源
Probably a blend of intertwine + intermingle. The word has apparently been coined independently several times:
- It was used by the Indian author and translator Manmatha Nath Dutt (1855–1912) in an 1896 work: see the quotation.
- It appears to have been used comically by Montgomery Gordon Rice of Bradley Polytechnic Institute in an April 1901 performance of Esmeralda: see the quotation.
- It was used as a noun by the American-British author Henry James (1843–1916) as a nickname for a group of his Emmet female cousins who were painters; and also by the American artist John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) as a nickname for his 1900s genre paintings of his nieces, the Ormond sisters. Sargent was referring to the use of shawls as a motif, or the interchangeability of the models or their convoluted poses. (The American artist Jane Emmet de Glehn (1873–1961), one of Henry James’ “intertwingles”, was also a friend and model of Sargent’s.)
- The word was used in the urban planning context by Tracy Augur in the 1950s (see the 1954 quotation), and adopted by others including Dennis O’Harrow.
Sense 2 (“of documents, information, etc.: to interconnect or interrelate in a complex way”) was developed from its use in Computer Lib/Dream Machines (1974) by the American philosopher and sociologist Theodor Holm Nelson (born 1937): see the quotation.

The Little Fire Engine. Even if Graham Greene had not come out from the anonymity of The Little Red Engine and signed it, this is surely the Book of the Year. Pathos and humour ‘inextricably intertwingled’. Charlie Chaplin would not have disowned it, and a much younger [Walt] Disney at his best would have envied it.

This is largely an accident of history, but it is also a natural concomitant of the need for coupling urban technological analysis and problem explorations with designed and concrete solutions to social, political, economic, and physical problems of urban areas expressed in physical terms as plans. The fact that all of these elements are, as Tracy Augur says, "inextricably intertwingled" makes for the complex job of the "generalist in planning," in contradistinction to the specialist, let us say, in school architecture, or hospital architecture, or residential architecture.

Such a magnetic matrix, plane, or array can function as a serial store. In a 1024-core square array, the X dimension could represent the 32 bit positions of a word and the Y dimension, 32 different words. […] This plane of 1024 cores, so far as organization is concerned, can be thought of as four 32 × 8 arrays intertwingled.

This book, like the conference, is called Intertwingled. It’s a word that expresses a philosophical position about cross-connection. I said in Computer Lib, "Everything is deeply intertwingled." I meant that all subjects and issues are intertwined and intermingled. But intertwingled subjects are not what computers usually represent. From the beginning, people have set computers up to be hierarchical. […] Now, it's also a metaphysic to say, "everything is deeply intertwingled," since the sentence cannot be proven true or false. But it is computer science to say that we need to represent cross-connection, and I’m expressing a computer science opinion when I say that intertwingularity is a better form of representation—for everything—than hierarchy.

It was with the utmost reluctance that he [John Singer Sargent] could be induced, for the purpose of sale, to pull out any one of the water-colours which used to lie in their frames, jammed one against the other, in a large rack on the floor of his studio. If in response to insistence he acquiesced, he would produce one or two, always with a good deal of gutteral protest, pointing out what he considered their drawbacks, and qualifying them with some derogatory title. “Vegetables,” “Dried Seaweed,” “Troglodytes of the Cordilleras,” “Blokes,” “Idiots of the Mountains” and “Intertwingles” come back to me as a few of the titles bestowed on various renderings of woodland scenery, muleteers, figures on a hillside, and of a portrait group on a river bank.

Sargent referred to Rose-Marie and Polly (as well as their sisters Reine Ormond and Dorothy [Dolly] Barnard) as the “inter-twingles,” an allusion to their willing interchangeability as models but also, perhaps, to the easy familiarity and affection among the young women. […] [Footnote 6] [Trevor J.] Fairbrother (“Sargent’s Genre Paintings,” p. 41) […] suggests that it [the word intertwingle] refers as well to the convoluted poses Sargent asked his models to assume.
