forniture

Forniture is a term that appears in English-language texts but is not recognized as a distinct vocabulary item in standard dictionaries. In most cases, it is a misspelling or variant of furniture, the movable articles used to equip and furnish living or working spaces. Furniture includes items such as chairs, tables, beds, storage units, and desks.

Etymology: The concept behind forniture is tied to furnishing, which comes from Old French fourniture meaning equipment or supplies, and ultimately from Latin roots related to provisioning. When used as the English noun forniture, it usually reflects a typographical error rather than a separate word.

Other uses: In some contexts forniture may appear as a surname or as a brand name. In Italian, the word for supply or provisioning is fornitura or fornitura; thus forniture is sometimes encountered in translations or cross-linguistic texts as a transliteration, but it is not standard Italian.

If you intended to refer to the items that furnish a space, the correct term is furniture. For related concepts, see furnishing, furniture, and interior design.
