The word evokes a sense of intricate, sticky entanglement. Whether describing a biological structure or a social network, it suggests a trap or a complex maze from which it is difficult to escape. It carries a duality of being both a marvel of engineering and a symbol of entrapment. In modern digital contexts, the term has shifted from a biological trap to a global infrastructure of connectivity. While the original meaning is tactile and organic, the digital meaning is ethereal and systemic, yet both retain the core image of a vast, intersecting grid of connections.

Countable when referring to a physical spider's creation in the garden. Uncountable when referring to the global internet system.
