- apparatus
- apparatus: [17] Etymologically, apparatus is ‘equipment that has been prepared for a particular use’. The word is borrowed from Latin apparātus, the past participle of the compound verb apparāre, formed from the prefix ad- and parāre ‘make ready’ (source of prepare ‘make ready in advance’, and related to parent). At the beginning of the 17th century, the related but anglicized form apparate put in a brief appearance in the language (possibly borrowed from French apparat), but within 20 years apparatus had supplanted it.
=> parent, prepare - apparatus (n.)
- 1620s, from Latin apparatus "tools, implements, equipment; preparation, a preparing," noun of state from past participle stem of apparare "prepare," from ad- "to" (see ad-) + parare "make ready" (see pare).

借用拉丁语动词apparo, apparare, apparavi, apparatus(准备,提供)的过去分词形式apparatus。
apparatus：装置，设备
prepare（准备）的词根par来自拉丁语parare（准备），所以可解释为“准备”；pre-为前缀“在之前”。apparatus中，ap-相当于前缀ad-，表“to”；词根par“准备”；其后缀是拉丁语过去分词变化形态。“设备”即提前“设”好以“备”用之物。
