Root Explanation

Involved → It is formed from "in-" (meaning in or into) and "volvere" (meaning to roll or turn). The word "involved" describes being rolled into or included in something, indicating participation or engagement.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'rolled into' something ('volvere') when you are 'in' it ('in-') — that's why involved means being part of something.
