/prəˈvaɪd/·프러바이드·verb
to give what is needed
LatinCEFR A2
Root
pro- (ahead, before) + Latin 'videre' (to see)
Latin providere (foresee, look ahead, prepare) → Middle French provider → English provide
In a word
pro- (ahead) + vid (see) = 'see ahead, and prepare'. The Latin providere meant exactly "foresee and arrange". To provide isn't merely to give — it's to anticipate and give. A good parent or a good company provides; the root knows: love that looks ahead.
Examples
The hotel provides free breakfast.
Parents provide for their children.
The library provides access to many books.
