Morphology
engage = gage (semi-transparent) = en + gage
The 'become involved' sense is an extension from 'to bind/commit' (en+gage), but the link is metaphorical rather than strictly literal for learners.
Etymology
Engage comes from en- 'in' and gage 'promise', so it originally meant to 'enter into' something by agreement. So to engage in an activity is to take part or become involved.
