furnieren "to cover with a veneer, inlay," from Fr.
fournir "to furnish, accomplish," from M.Fr.
fornir "to furnish," from a Gmc. source (cf. O.H.G.
frumjan "to provide;" see furnish). A word batted back and forth from German to French to German. Fig. sense of "mere outward show of some good quality" is attested from 1868. The verb is recorded from 1728.

From German Furnier, from furnieren (“to inlay, cover with a veneer”), from French fournir (“to furnish, accomplish”), from Middle French fornir, from Old French fornir, furnir (“to furnish”), from Old Frankish frumjan (“to provide”), from Proto-Germanic *frumjaną (“to further, promote”). Cognate with Old High German frumjan, frummen (“to accomplish, execute, provide”), Old English fremian (“to promote, perform”). More at furnish. See: French '
