Etymology: "Involvedly" is simply "involved" with the adverbial ending "-ly" attached. The base word "involved" comes from the verb "involve," which traces back through Middle English and Anglo-Norman to Latin "involvere," meaning "to roll up" or "to wrap in." The original sense was physical: to envelop something or fold it up, and the figurative sense of entangling a person in a matter developed from that image of being wrapped up in something. Adding "-ly" to "involved" produces an adverb describing an action done in an intricate, entangled, or deeply engaged manner. The suffix is a plain, productive English ending, so the meaning of the adverb follows directly from its parts: the idea of being wrapped up or interwoven carries over into descriptions of things that are complicated or tangled together.
