The word furnish traces back to Old French fournir, meaning "to provide or equip," which itself originated from Frankish frumjan. The core idea revolves around supplying or preparing something, evolving into its modern sense of equipping spaces with furniture or providing necessary items. The -ish suffix solidifies its role as an action verb in English.
