The word investigated is derived from the Latin word investigare, which means to track, trace, or search into. It is a combination of in (meaning into) and vestigium (meaning footprint or trace). Over time, investigare evolved into the Late Latin form investigatus, which later influenced the Old French word investiguer, ultimately leading to the English word investigated.
