Note
One spelling carries two quite different verbs. In one, a place or effort has been supplied with what it needs, such as staff, money or equipment. It sits naturally in the passive with an adverb of degree: a poorly resourced clinic, a well resourced team. In the other, something has been sourced anew, as when parts are resourced from a different supplier. Only context tells the reader which verb is meant.
