What does EQUIP mean in Scrabble?

Equipping a person or a place means supplying whatever is needed before an activity can begin, whether that is a soldier's gear, a kitchen's appliances or a student's school supplies. The word covers both physical items and, in a looser sense, skills or knowledge, as when training is said to equip someone for a job. It is one of the most common words in this group and needs no specialist context to use correctly. Something well equipped has everything it reasonably needs for its purpose.
