FUR-niss · noun
Proto-Indo-EuropeanProto-ItalicLatinOld FrenchMiddle EnglishEnglish
Origin
Furnace traces back to Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰer- ('warm'), which combined with a suffix to form *gʷʰr̥nós, becoming Proto-Italic *xʷornos and then *fornos, giving Latin fornus. A separate PIE suffix *-eh₂ks became Latin -āx, and together they formed Latin fornāx, meaning oven or kiln.
Journey
Latin fornāx passed into Old French as fornais, then into Middle English as forneys, before settling into English as furnace.
