Investiture - Noun

The act of formally bestowing a person with honors or rank.

From the verb 'invest' which etymologically can be read as "in-vest" or "unto-clothes". This comes from the Christian tradition where, upon being ordained, a newly created clergyman could now wear 'vestments', their religious garb.
