thoroughly ready
Etymology
'comprehensively-prepared' originates from the Latin word 'comprehendere,' meaning 'to grasp or seize,' and the Old French 'preparer,' meaning 'to make ready.'
'comprehendere' transformed into the Middle English 'comprehenden,' and 'preparer' evolved into the modern English 'prepare,' eventually forming the compound adjective 'comprehensively-prepared.'
Initially, it meant 'to grasp fully and make ready,' evolving into its current meaning of 'thoroughly equipped or ready.'
