Etymology
Furn comes from a Semitic triliteral root f-r-n that denotes a baking oven or kiln. Related forms appear across the Semitic language family, including Aramaic and Syriac, where a very similar word also means oven. The word has stayed remarkably stable in form and meaning for centuries, still naming the same everyday object.
