Etymologie

From Old French furnir, fornir (whence also English furnish), of Germanic origin, from Frankish *frumjan (“to complete, execute”), from Proto-Germanic *frumjaną (“to further, promote”), from Proto-Indo-European *promo- (“front, forward”). Cf. Old High German frumjan (“to perform, provide”), from fruma (“utility, gain”), akin to Old English fremu (“profit, advantage”), fremian (“to promote, perform”). Compare Catalan fornir, Italian fornire, English furnish.
