The phrase "vest in" has its roots in the Middle English word "vesten", meaning to provide someone with clothing, specifically a garment called a vest (as in a sleeveless jacket). Over time, the meaning of "vest" evolved to refer to a variety of protective or ceremonial garments, such as a priest's vestment or a lawyer's courtroom vest. The expression "vest in" began to emerge in the 1600s, originally referring to the act of dressing someone in a particular garment or vestment. More broadly, it came to mean to provide someone with something of value, whether that's a tangible item like a piece of land, or an intangible asset like a company share. Today, "vest in" is commonly used to indicate investment or involvement in a project, enterprise, or idea, typically with the expectation of future returns or benefits.
