Etymology
1. 1382, from L.
involvere "entangle, envelop," lit. "roll into," from
in- "in" +
volvere "to roll" (see vulva). Originally "envelop, surround," sense of "take in, include" first recorded 1605.
Involved "complicated" is from 1643.
2. PIE word
3. *h₁én
4. From Late Middle English involven (“to cloud; to encumber; to envelop, surround; to ponder (something); (reflexive) to concern (oneself) with something”) [and other forms], borrowed from Old French involver, envoudre, or from its etymon Latin involvere, the present active infinitive of Latin involvō (“to roll to or upon something; to roll about; to coil or curl up; to cover; to envelop, wrap up; to overwhelm”), from in- (prefix meaning ‘in, inside, within’) + volvō (“to roll; to tumble”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *welH- (“to turn; to wind (turn coils)”)). See: Latin '
involvere', Latin '
involvō'.
