From Latin inverto/invertere (in- 'toward' + vertere 'to turn'), originally 'to turn toward' and later used for directing money, time, or effort to achieve a future return.
Usage tips
- Spanish normally uses invertir en + noun or gerund to name what receives the resources, and invertir is not the same as English invert ('turn upside down').
