Morphology
involve = in + volve
Opaque because the root 'volve' is not a standalone English word and the Latin prefix 'in-' does not yield a transparently compositional meaning for typical learners.
Etymology
Involve comes from Latin parts in- 'in' and volvere 'to roll'. Imagine being 'rolled into' a plan or activity so you are part of it. So, to involve someone is to include them or make them take part.
