Word origin
The term 'investor' dates back to the early 17th century, derived from the Latin word 'investire' meaning 'to clothe' or 'to surround'. Originally used in the context of clothing or robes, the term gradually evolved to represent the act of providing capital with the expectation of profit. Over the centuries, the concept of investing has become a fundamental aspect of modern finance and economics.
