Etymology of REVEST

The word "revest" has its origins in the Old French word "revestir" which means "to clothe" or "to dress". It can be traced back to the Latin word "revestire", which combines "re-" (meaning "again" or "back") and "vestire" (meaning "to clothe"). The term "revest" first appeared in Middle English around the 14th century, primarily in the context of clothing oneself or someone else. Over time, its meaning expanded to include the action of outfitting or equipping someone or something, particularly in a ceremonial or official manner.
