Origin of the word buy into

The phrase "buy into" originally appeared in the context of stock brokerage in the 1930s and 1940s. It referred to the act of investors purchasing shares in a particular company or investment. The expression "buy into" can be traced back to the idea that by investing or "buying into" a company, the investor is also buying into or becoming a part of that company's future successes and potential returns. Over time, the usage of "buy into" expanded to encompass a wider variety of situations where an individual must first make an investment or outlay in order to become engaged or involved in something. As such, today "buy into" is a widely used expression that can be applied to a range of enterprises, services, and ideas, from sports teams and political ideologies to new technologies and business strategies.
