Morphology

involvement = involve (transparent) = involve + ment

Standard nominalization: 'involve' + '-ment' yields the act or state of being involved, a meaning predictable from the verb.

Etymology

Involvement comes from Latin parts in- 'in' and volve 'to roll', the same root you see in revolve. So being involved is like being 'rolled into' an activity — taking part or being included.
