Working on Comenius's Lexicon yesterday I actually learned a new word based on Latin "vest" (Lewis & Short sure has a long list of them) - it's VESTICEPS: I thought you might like the metaphorical extension in definition II. :-)
vestĭceps , cĭpis [vestis-capio, that has got the first covering of the chin, opp. investis] ,
I. bearded, arrived at puberty, manly, virile (post-class.).
I. Lit.: arrogari non potest nisi jam vesticeps, Gell. 5, 19, 7 ; Tert. Anim. 56; Aus. Idyll. 4, 73.--*
II. Transf., immoral, corrupt (opp. investis, innocent), App. Mag. p. 336, 7.
