initialised

Made ready first

Initialised is the British spelling of initialized, meaning set to a starting state or prepared for use.

In computing, to initialise a variable, disk, or system is to assign it initial values or configure it for operation: The program crashed because the array was never initialised.

More broadly, initialised describes anything formally started or set up: Once the project was initialised, work proceeded quickly.
