vest
As a garment, the term varies significantly by region. In American English, it typically refers to a sleeveless jacket worn over a shirt for formal or casual attire. In British English, the term often describes a sleeveless undergarment, similar to an undershirt.
In legal and financial contexts, the word carries a sense of permanence and entitlement. It describes the transition of a right or asset from a conditional state to an absolute one, often associated with employment contracts or government authority. This usage is highly formal and technical, appearing frequently in corporate law and pension agreements.
