Money with opinions attached about what you should build next.
means The money supplied to pay for a project, organization, or venture to keep it running or help it grow.
from From "fund," borrowed in the 1600s from French "fonds" meaning a stock of money or a capital sum — itself tracing back to Latin "fundus," meaning the bottom or base of something, like the floor of a piece of land. The logic: a fund is the ground you stand on financially, your base reserve. "Funding" emerged as the active verb form — turning that static bottom-layer of money into something you actively supply or commit to a purpose.
