gest
Comes from the Old French verb 'agister' (to lodge, place), ultimately derived from the Latin 'ad + gestare' ('to carry to' or 'to bring to'), where 'gestare' means 'to carry, bear, or manage'. The root 'gest-' conveys the core idea of carrying, bearing, managing, or placing something under care. Examples include agist, digest, ingest, suggest, congest, and invest.
