"etymology_text": "Frequentative of Middle High German verzetten (“to scatter, disperse”), from ver- + Old High German zetten (“to spread”), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *tadjaną (“to strew, scatter”). Combination of zetten with the instrumental suffix -eln yielded the cognate noun Zettel (“warp”); its etymologically unrelated homonym meaning “slip/piece of paper, note” in turn feeds into sense 1 of verzetteln by association with the image of disorganized paperwork.",
