revestv.1 Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French revestir; Latin revestire. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman revestier, revester, revestre, Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French, French †revestir (now revêtir revet v.1) to clothe (a person) (second half of the 10th cent. in Old French, originally with reference to a person who is naked), to array (a priest, monk, or other cleric) in ecclesiastical vestments or clerical habit (c1050 used transitively, late 12th cent. used reflexively), to put on (a garment) (c1140; c1170 with reference to putting a garment on again), to dress (a person) again (second half of the 12th cent.), to assume, take the form of (something), to assume (a quality or character) (c1250), (of a right, property, etc.) to become established (in a person) again (end of the 13th cent. or earlier; frequent in Anglo-Norman legal contexts), to invest or endow (a person) with (a right, property, etc.) (1336 in revestir quelqu'un de quelque chose ) and its etymon post-classical Latin revestire to cover or adorn as if with clothing (early 3rd cent. in Tertullian), to put on again, to clothe again (5th cent.), to reinvest, repossess (7th cent.) < classical Latin re- re- prefix + vestīre to clothe (see vest v.). Compare Old Occitan revestir , Catalan revestir (14th cent.), Spanish revestir (13th cent.), Portuguese revestir (13th cent.), Italian rivestire (end of the 13th cent.). With branch I. compare revesh v., and discussion at that entry.In instances where the notion of ‘clothing again’ is prominent, the word is often apprehended (especially in later use) as < re- prefix + vest v. The β. forms arose by elision of the unstressed vowel in the past tense and past participial ending and simplification of the resulting consonant cluster. Later examples of this type could alternatively be taken as showing past tense or past participle forms of revesh v. with similar reduction of the ending. Forms with -sh- , -sch- may reflect a phonological development, but could alternatively be interpreted as showing revesh v., and thus potentially remodelling of the end of the stem after words in -ish suffix2. In Middle English prefixed and unprefixed forms of the past participle are attested (see y- prefix). I. To clothe, array.
