Etymology: "Garnysshen" is a Middle English spelling of "garnish," and it reached English from Old French "garnir," meaning to equip, provision, or protect. The Old French verb came from Germanic roots and was closely related to "warn" and "warrant," so the modern word's ancestors share a sense of preparing or guarding. In medieval English the verb had a legal and practical flavour: to garnish a person was to serve them with a formal warning or notice, and to garnish goods was to furnish or equip them. Cooking took the word over later, and the idea of decorating food with something added to it came out of that older sense of providing or fitting out, rather than of adding flourish for its own sake.
