Etymology
Furnisher comes from the verb furnish, which means 'to supply' or 'provide' and is the same root as furniture. Think of someone bringing sofas and tables into a room — they are 'supplying' the furniture, which makes the meaning easy to remember. So a furnisher is someone who supplies furniture for homes or offices.
