Etymology
'neatly-furnished' originates from the combination of 'neatly' and 'furnished'. 'Neatly' comes from the Old English word 'nēat', meaning 'tidy', and 'furnished' comes from the Old French 'furnir', meaning 'to supply'.
'Neatly' evolved from the Old English 'nēat' and 'furnished' from the Old French 'furnir', eventually combining in modern English to form 'neatly-furnished'.
Initially, 'neatly' meant 'tidy' and 'furnished' meant 'supplied with furniture'. The combined term 'neatly-furnished' has retained this meaning.
