equipped

Ready with tools

Equipped means supplied with what is needed for a particular purpose.

A kitchen is equipped with appliances; a soldier is equipped with weapons and gear.

The word extends beyond physical objects: She wasn't emotionally equipped to handle the news.

To be well-equipped or ill-equipped is to be prepared or unprepared for what lies ahead.
