About This Root
From Latin vestis (garment, clothing), from Proto-Indo-European *wes- (to wear, dress). Vest (a garment), vestment (ceremonial clothing), and vesture (clothing/covering) preserve the literal sense. Invest originally meant "to clothe in" — to dress someone in the robes of office, which evolved into putting money into something as a form of "clothing" it with resources.
