Tar 

Tar-Baby was a doll made of tar and turpentine, used to entrap Br'er Rabbit in the second of the Uncle Remus stories.

The more that Br'er Rabbit fought the Tar-Baby, the more entangled he became.

In contemporary usage a tar baby refers to any "sticky situation" that is only aggravated by efforts to solve it.
