Origin

Old English werian, of Germanic origin, from an Indo-European root shared by Latin vestis 'clothing'.

invest from mid 16th century:
The root of invest is Latin vestis ‘clothes’, also the source of vest (Late Middle English), and which shares an Indo-European root with wear (Old English). Latin investire meant ‘to put clothes on someone’, and was the sense of invest when it entered English in the mid 16th century. Someone being formally installed in a job or office would once have been ceremonially dressed in special clothing, and this is behind the sense ‘to formally confer a rank or office on someone’. The main modern use of the word is financial—putting money into a commercial venture with the expectation of profit. This came into English under the influence of a related Italian word in the early 17th century, apparently through a comparison between putting money into various enterprises and dressing it in a variety of clothing.
