Definition
Apparatus is a set of tools, machines, or equipment used for a particular purpose, or the organized system that runs a process.
Etymology
From Latin "apparatus" meaning "equipment" or "preparation," from "apparare" meaning "to prepare." It suggests things that are put in place ahead of time to make an activity possible.
Kelly Says
We use “apparatus” for both lab gear and government systems, which hints that organizations are like machines made of people. When someone says “the state apparatus,” they’re treating a whole nation’s power like one giant device.
