devestv.

/dɪˈvɛst/

Etymology: < Old French devester (13th cent.), also desvestir (12th cent. in Hatzfeld & Darmesteter), < des- , dé- = Latin dis- (see de- prefix 1f, dis- prefix) + vestir , modern French vêtir < Latin vestīre to clothe. The Latin dictionaries cite a single instance of dēvestīre to undress, from Appuleius; but in Romanic, the prefix is dis- , des- : compare Provençal desvestir , devestir , Italian divestire , medieval Latin dis- , dī- , dē-vestīre , < Old French. In later English the prefix is conformed to classical Latin analogies as divest v., and devest now survives only in sense 5 (in which divest also occurs).
