/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "ROHS" (as in "row") + "keh" (as in "kept")/

Meaning

An emotional entanglement where you are hooked on someone and cannot let go, even knowing it is not going anywhere good. In Argentina and Uruguay, an enrosque is that mental loop where you keep overthinking the same person, going round and round without resolution. Think of it as the situationship spiral.

Examples

Regional synonyms
