Etymology

Compound of 取る (toru, 'take') + 込む (komu, 'go into/put into'). The core meaning is 'to take and put inside', which extends metaphorically to adoption, capture, and social manipulation. The intransitive sense 'be busy' likely derives from the idea of being 'taken up' or 'engulfed' by tasks.
