vest
Armless upper garment
A vest is a sleeveless garment worn over a shirt, typically as part of a three-piece suit.
In British English, vest means an undershirt.
To vest something is to confer authority or property: The Constitution vests power in Congress.
When benefits vest, they become legally guaranteed after a waiting period: My pension vests after five years.
A vested interest is a personal stake in an outcome.
