Etymology

The term 'investing' comes from the Latin word 'investire', which means to 'clothe' or 'put on'. In the context of finance, the concept dates back to the late 18th century when individuals started to invest their money in various ventures in hopes of earning a profit. It has evolved alongside economic systems and developments in market instruments. The modern investing framework, particularly in stocks and bonds, began to take shape in the 19th century as markets matured and regulations were established. As globalization accelerated in the 20th century, investing became more accessible to the average person through the development of mutual funds and online trading platforms, thus democratizing wealth-building opportunities.
