Etymology
The word 'investiture' originated from the Latin word 'investire', which means 'to clothe, adorn'. In medieval Europe, investiture ceremonies were common for bestowing titles and authority. Over time, the term evolved to encompass both the act of conferring authority and the ceremonial clothing worn during such events.
