Etymology
'antenna-equipped' originates from the combination of 'antenna' and 'equipped', where 'antenna' refers to a device for receiving or transmitting signals, and 'equipped' means provided with necessary items.
'antenna' comes from the Latin word 'antenna', meaning 'sail yard', and 'equipped' comes from the Old French 'equiper', meaning 'to fit out'.
Initially, 'antenna' referred to a 'sail yard', but over time it evolved to mean a device for signal transmission, while 'equipped' has maintained its meaning of being provided with necessary items.
