Etymology
Furnisher comes from the verb furnish, which means 'to supply' or 'provide', just like furniture is what you supply for a room. Imagine a company bringing boxes of goods to a shop — they are 'supplying' what the shop needs. So a furnisher can mean any person or company that supplies goods, materials, or services.
