Etymology
From Latin 'investire' (to clothe, to cover). The suffix '-tion' indicates a noun of action, common in many European languages.
Memory Tips
Very similar to the English 'investment'. Remember that nouns ending in '-tion' are almost always feminine in German, so they take the article 'die'.
