Origin:
The term "equipage" has its origins in the Latin word equus, meaning "horse." In the Roman Empire, an equus was a unit of cavalry consisting of 30 horses and their riders. The term pagi, meaning "villages," was used to describe the territorial districts in which these units were quartered.
Over time, the term "equipage" came to be used in a military context to refer to the personnel and equipment assigned to a unit. By the 16th century, it was commonly used to describe the crew of a ship. The term also extended to the equipment used by a particular unit, such as weapons, uniforms, and vehicles.
In modern usage, "equipage" typically refers to the crew of a ship or aircraft. It can also be used to describe the personnel and equipment of a diplomatic mission or a search and rescue team.
