Third-person singular present tense of furnish; supplies or equips something with furniture, tools, or necessary items.
From Old French fournir meaning 'to provide' or 'equip,' borrowed into Middle English and maintained through modern English as a standard verb.
The verb 'furnish' has a fascinating double life in English—it can mean both literally providing furniture AND providing information or evidence, making it one of our most semantically versatile words.
