What means "investment"?
Do you know that the word "investment" comes from the Latin language? And originally it was translated as "wear anything.»
In the course of time the word "investment" was gaining a new meaning. Now, this term refers to the process of investing capital with the aim of obtaining profits in the future, and a person who invests the money is called an investor. It seems curious that, initially investors were the property owners! Managers of medieval feudal estates and the rectors of the parishes were called so. And the process of transferring the management of their lands to others was called the investiture or investment.
