Etymology

The word 'resourced' originates from the combination of 'resource' and the suffix '-ed', which often indicates a state or condition. The word 'resource' comes from the Middle French 'ressource', meaning 'to rise again', which indicates the ability to recover or draw upon available supplies. 'Resource' itself can be traced back to the Latin 'resurgere', which means 'to rise again'. The concept of being 'resourced' has evolved over time, particularly with the growth of industries and organizations that require systematic allocation of materials, funds, and human input. In contemporary usage, especially in business and education, 'resourced' emphasizes the importance of having a foundation of support and availability of assets to achieve objectives effectively.
