Morphology

overfurnished = furnished (transparent) = over + furnish + ed

The meaning is directly derived by adding the prefix 'over-' (excessively) to 'furnished' (provided with furniture), yielding 'having too much furniture'.

Etymology

Overfurnished is built from over- meaning 'too much' and furnish meaning 'to provide with furniture', the same root as furniture. So, an overfurnished room is one that has 'too much furniture' and not enough free space to move.
