Etymology
'emotionally-involved' originates from the combination of 'emotion' and 'involve', where 'emotion' comes from Latin 'emovere', meaning 'to move out', and 'involve' from Latin 'involvere', meaning 'to roll into'.
'emotion' changed from the Old French word 'emouvoir' and 'involve' from the Latin 'involvere', eventually forming the modern English term 'emotionally-involved'.
Initially, 'emotion' meant 'a movement or agitation of the mind', and 'involve' meant 'to enfold or envelop', evolving into the current meaning of being deeply connected emotionally.
