Etymology: "Furnishments" is the plural of "furnishment," a noun formed by adding the suffix "-ment" to the verb "furnish." That suffix, borrowed from Old French and ultimately from Latin, turns an action into a noun for its result or means, as in "amazement" or "payment." "Furnish" itself came into English from Old French "furnir," meaning to supply, equip or complete, so a furnishment is literally something that has been used to equip or complete a space.
