I've been using the seemingly fictitious word "intricle" for 25 years and I'm just now realizing that it's not in the dictionary! I've taken 4 years of college Writing classes and this has never come up before! What is the word I'm really trying to use??? It's used like this:
Ravioli is an intricle part of my diet.
I use it to mean a cross between important and inseparable.
Look up intricle on Google and you'll see tons of other people using it just like me!
Wow!

Apparently the more common misspelling is "intrical" and some suggest it has a place in the dictionary as a combination of intricate and integral. Hmm....

Do you mean integral?
It means necessary to the completeness of the whole, and makes sense in your sentence.

No, everyone is right, it is "integral". This one KG teacher thought that the word "picture" was spelled "pitcher" because that was how she pronounced it. I was her assistant and I corrected her, I wonder if she believed me? I was in 11th grade at the time...

I'm amazed - it does seem to come up quite a lot on google.
Though 413 vs 140,000,000:
