The word that means to become involved in a conflict or argument is "embroll." This term specifically refers to getting caught up in a complicated situation or dispute, indicating not just involvement but often a sense of confusion or complication in the conflict.

"Exhort" means to strongly encourage or urge someone to do something, which does not imply involvement in a conflict. "Entangle" can imply becoming involved but often suggests a more passive or accidental involvement rather than an active engagement in a conflict. "Engage" can mean to take part in or become involved in something, but it does not specifically convey the notion of conflict or argument, making it a more general term.
