Archaic term for furniture, furnishings, or equipment; the items and fixtures used to outfit or decorate a room or structure.
From Middle English furniment, related to furnish (Old French fournir meaning 'to provide' or 'equip'), combined with the suffix -ment indicating a result or collection of items.
Furniment is essentially the ancestor of our word 'furniture,' and seeing it in medieval texts is like watching a language evolve—'furniment' eventually shortened to 'furniture' as English speakers got lazy over centuries.
