In Middle French, the language from which today’s word was borrowed, “garniture” meant “equipment.” “Garniture” is an alteration of the Old French noun “garnesture,” which is derived from the verb “garnir,” which meant “to warn, equip, or garnish.” In fact, an Anglo-French stem of “garner,” “garniss-,” is the source of the English verb “garnish,” which in its senses of “decorate” and “embellish” shares a similar relationship to “garniture” that the verb “furnish” shares with “furniture.” “Furnish” comes from the Anglo-French “furniss-,” a stem of the verb “furnir” or “fournir,” which also gave rise to the Middle French “fourniture,” the source of the English “furniture.”
Relative of “garniture” is garment
