Etymology
مُعَدّات is the sound feminine plural of مُعَدّة, the Form IV passive participle of the verb أعدّ, meaning to prepare or make ready. That verb comes from the triliteral root ع-د-د, whose base sense in Form I and II involves counting or tallying, but which shifted in Form IV to mean equipping or readying something. The singular مُعَدّة thus denotes a prepared item or device, and the plural مُعَدّات became the standard collective word for equipment.
