Etymology

edit

Appears to be a Meiji period repurposing or borrowing, probably based on written Chinese 設備设备 (shèbèi, equipment; to make preparations and arrangements) and Old Japanese 設け備ふ (makesonapu), modernized classical Japanese 設け備う (makesonau, to arrange in preparation).

First attested in a pocket English-Japanese dictionary from 1862, provided as the gloss for the verb season,[1] presumably from the sense of "to make something ready".
