Investing or investment is a term with several closely-related meanings in business management, finance, and economics, related to saving or deferring consumption. An asset is usually purchased, or equivalently a deposit is made to a bank, in hopes of getting future return or interest from it. Literally, the word means the "action of putting something in to somewhere else" (perhaps originally related to a person's garment or 'vestment').
