equipping
Supplying necessary tools
Equipping is the process of providing what's needed for a particular purpose—supplying tools, gear, or preparation.
You might speak of equipping a kitchen or equipping soldiers for deployment.
The word often implies readiness: equipping students with critical thinking skills, equipping yourself for the challenges ahead.
