Etymology
The word 'reequip' combines the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' with the word 'equip,' which comes from the Latin 'aequipare,' meaning 'to make equal.' This reflects the concept of providing equipment or tools suitable for a particular purpose. The use of 're-' indicates a repeated or renewed effort to offer equipment or resources anew. 'Equip' has been used in the English language since the 14th century, while 'reequip' is a more modern formation that became common as industries evolved and the need for updated technologies and tools increased, particularly in contexts like manufacturing, military, and education.
