可以想成有人替某個計畫「打開金錢的水龍頭」：機構或政府撥出一筆錢，源源供給，讓這件事跑得起來。funding 就是這股「被撥來、專門用在某個用途上」的資金流——重點在於它是被提供出來支持某件事的，而不只是放著的錢。From the word’s history
From 'fund' (a stock/store of money) + '-ing'; 'fund' goes back to Latin 'fundus' = bottom, base, piece of land — the underlying stock you build on. So 'funding' is supplying that base of money.
由 fund（一筆儲備的錢）加 -ing 而來；fund 可追溯到拉丁文 fundus，意為「底部、基礎、一塊地」——也就是你立足、往上蓋的那個底。可以想成 funding 就是「替某件事鋪下那塊錢的底」，把資金供應出來當地基。
