Involve \In*volve"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Involved; p. pr. &
vb. n. Involving.] [L. involvere, involutum, to roll about,
wrap up; pref. in- in + volvere to roll: cf. OF. involver.
See Voluble, and cf. Involute.]
[1913 Webster]
1. To roll or fold up; to wind round; to entwine.
[1913 Webster]
Some of serpent kind . . . involved
Their snaky folds. --Milton.
[1913 Webster]
2. To envelop completely; to surround; to cover; to hide; to
involve in darkness or obscurity.
[1913 Webster]
And leave a sing[`e]d bottom all involved
With stench and smoke. --Milton.
[1913 Webster]
3. To complicate or make intricate, as in grammatical
structure. "Involved discourses." --Locke.
[1913 Webster]
4. To connect with something as a natural or logical
consequence or effect; to include necessarily; to imply.
[1913 Webster]
He knows
His end with mine involved. --Milton.
[1913 Webster]
The contrary necessarily involves a contradiction.
--Tillotson.

5. To take in; to gather in; to mingle confusedly; to blend
or merge. [R.]
[1913 Webster]

Involves a vast involuntary throng. --Pope.

6. To envelop, infold, entangle, or embarrass; as, to involve

7. To engage thoroughly; to occupy, employ, or absorb.
"Involved in a deep study." --Sir W. Scott.
[1913 Webster]
8. (Math.) To raise to any assigned power; to multiply, as a
quantity, into itself a given number of times; as, a
quantity involved to the third or fourth power.
Syn: To imply; include; implicate; complicate; entangle;
embarrass; overwhelm.
Usage: To Involve, Imply. Imply is opposed to express, or
set forth; thus, an implied engagement is one fairly
to be understood from the words used or the
circumstances of the case, though not set forth in
form. Involve goes beyond the mere interpretation of
things into their necessary relations; and hence, if
one thing involves another, it so contains it that the
two must go together by an indissoluble connection.
War, for example, involves wide spread misery and
death; the premises of a syllogism involve the
conclusion.
[1913 Webster]
