Origin

Early 18th century (earlier as fineer): from German furni(e)ren, from Old French fournir 'furnish'.

The earliest form of veneer was fineer. It came into English through German furnieren from Old French furnir ‘to furnish’, and so is related to furnish (Late Middle English) and furniture (early 16th century). The idea behind it is that of ‘furnishing’ a piece of furniture with a thin surface.
