英语词汇“equipment”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

A motherboard and a graphics processor? Duct tape? A circular saw? A solar panel? Depending on what you’re up to, all these things can be considered equipment, which is whatever you need to complete a task.

Right away you probably notice that a big chunk of the word equipment is made up of another word, the common verb equip — meaning "to provide someone with the tools they need for a specific task." Add equip to -ment (the suffix of choice when you want to turn a verb into a noun) and voilà! Like magic, the verb changes into a noun, and you end up with equipment: the materials you get when you are equipped to do a particular thing.

WORD FAMILY

equipment: equipments+/equip: equipage, equipment, equipped, equipping, equips, re-equip/equipage: equipages/equipped: ill-equipped, unequipped/re-equip: re-equipping
