Varusta

Varusta is a Finnish verb form meaning to equip, outfit, or arm. It is the imperative singular form of the verb varustaa, which denotes the act of supplying or equipping someone or something with necessary gear, tools, or provisions. In use, varusta is a direct instruction or command, often found in operational or logistical contexts.

The term is commonly applied in settings where preparation is essential. Examples include military or rescue services preparing their teams, outdoor or adventure activities where participants need appropriate gear, or productions such as film and theater where equipment and outfits must be provided for performers and crew. Because it is a verb form, varusta appears in sentences that describe actions rather than as a stand-alone noun.

Related Finnish terms reflect the broader concept of equipment and provisioning. Varustaa is the infinitive meaning to equip; varustus or varuste refers to equipment or gear as a category or collective item; varusteet are individual equipment items; varustaminen denotes outfitting or provisioning as a process.

In usage, varusta is most natural when giving instructions or describing preparedness steps. It is not common as a standalone noun in standard Finnish; instead, speakers use varustus or varuste to name the equipment involved.
