Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Latin 'divestire', formed from the prefix 'dis-' (meaning apart, away) and 'vestire' (meaning to clothe or dress). It entered Middle English via Old French 'desvestir', shifting in meaning from its original literal sense of stripping someone of clothes or rights to its modern economic and institutional sense of selling off assets or investments.
