(provide)
supply conditionally
Etymology
'provide' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'providere,' where 'pro-' meant 'forward' and 'videre' meant 'to see.'
'providere' transformed into the Old French word 'proveer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'provide' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'to foresee or prepare for,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to supply or make available.'
