Etymology

French **intrigue** comes from the Middle French form *intrigue*, borrowed from Latin **intrigare** “to plot, confuse.” The Latin verb derives from **intricare** “to entangle, braid” (in + *triga*, “to twist”), and it originally denoted a secret scheme or conspiracy. In French it expanded in the 15th‑century to include any compelling plot or story, and today it refers both to a conspiracy and to a well‑constructed, suspenseful narrative.
