Etymology
Vesting comes from the old verb vest, from a Latin word meaning 'to clothe'. Think of it as 'dressing' someone with rights: when rights or benefits are vested, the person is 'clothed' with them and they cannot easily be taken away. So, vesting is the process of giving a person full legal rights or ownership after certain conditions or a period of time are met.
