Definition: To pay for.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! You’ve got a great question today, quite astute, About the word "funded," bearing lovely fruit! The dictionary’s right, it’s true you see, “To pay for” is precisely what “funded” means to be. But let's dig a little deeper, don’t you think? It’s not just handing over cash, quick, quick, quick! Think of a school, with books and art supplies, Or maybe a project reaching for the skies! "Funded" means someone provides the money bright, To make those things happen – it's truly quite right! So when you hear “funded,” remember this plea: It’s about giving resources – for you and for me! Does that make sense, my dears? Any questions to share?
