overinvestment

/ˌoʊvɚɹɪnvˈɛstmənt/ noun

Excessive investment, especially in one particular area

Word Origin Invest originally meant 'to clothe' — from Latin in- 'in' and vestire 'to dress,' literally putting on garments. By the 1600s, it shifted to 'clothing' money in a venture, giving it a new form. Overinvestment is putting too many clothes on your money, so to speak. The root vestire also gives us vestment, divest (unclothe), and travesty (cross-dressing, then a distorted imitation).
