The word "investing" originates from the Latin investire ("to clothe, surround"), combining in- (into) and vestis (garment). In medieval Latin, it evolved to mean "endow with authority" (symbolized by ceremonial robes). By the 17th century, it acquired its financial sense, metaphorically implying "clothing money with potential growth." The suffix -ing marks its verbal noun form.
