Etymology: "Enlaces" is the plural of the Spanish noun "enlace," meaning a link or tie. That noun comes from the Old French verb "enlacer," which joined "en-" (in, into) with "lacer," to lace or fasten with a cord. The French verb in turn traces back to "laz," a snare or noose, from Latin "laqueus," so the core image is of something cinched around another thing to hold it fast.
