Sense 3: an equipment, instrument, machine or device.

I assume this comes from the etymology, as it's borrowed from Sanskrit यन्त्र (yantra) - see sense 3. However, this sense feels far too broad for general English (and at the very least needs some kind of label). Added as someone's first edit back in 2020, so it could just be someone not understanding the difference between meaning and derivation, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.
