Morphology

well-found = found (semi-transparent) = well + well + found

The adverb 'well' + past participle 'found' yields 'well-equipped', but 'found' meaning 'supplied/equipped' is less obvious or somewhat archaic for learners.

Etymology

Well-found combines well ('good' or 'fully') and found ('supplied' or 'fitted out'), so a well-found ship, hotel, or room is 'well supplied' with the equipment and comforts it needs and is therefore well equipped.
