Etymology

The word 'vestment' originated in the late Middle English period, derived from the Old French 'vestment' or 'vestement', which in turn came from the Latin 'vestmentum', meaning 'garment' or 'clothing'. The term has evolved to encompass both financial investment and religious attire, reflecting its dual usage in different contexts.
