Etymology
'evenly-furnished' originates from the combination of 'evenly' and 'furnished'. 'Evenly' comes from Old English 'efen', meaning 'level or equal', and 'furnished' comes from Old French 'furnir', meaning 'to supply or provide'.
'Evenly' evolved from Old English 'efen' to Middle English 'even', and 'furnished' evolved from Old French 'furnir' to Middle English 'furnishen'.
Initially, 'evenly' meant 'level or equal', and 'furnished' meant 'to supply or provide'. Together, they now mean 'having furniture distributed in a balanced manner'.
