Question

describe the etymology of the word investment?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Invest was tailored from the Latin verb investre, meaning "to clothe," in the 16th century, and it was originally used with the same meaning as its Latin source. ... In Italian, investre developed a special sense fabricated from the notion of "clothing" money in a new form

Answer 2

Richard Arkwright was the first among the British to realise the economic potential of using machines ‘to clothe’ millions of people. From the word ‘to clothe’ its Latin equivalent ‘investire’ gave rise to the new term that came to be known as ‘investment’. It meant the acquisition of financial or productive assets with the help of the capital.
