The word "involve" originates from Latin involvere, combining in- (into) and volvere (to roll). The imagery of "rolling into" something evolved metaphorically to mean "entangling" or "including," reflecting how actions or situations draw participants or elements into a complex whole. Over time, it broadened to abstract contexts like logical implications or emotional engagement.
