Etymology
The word 'equipping' originated from the Middle English term 'equipen', which means 'to furnish'. It has roots in the Old French word 'escipier' and the Latin word 'ex-' (out) + 'capere' (to take). Over time, 'equipping' has evolved to signify the action of providing tools or equipment for a specific purpose.
