Word origin

The term 'refurbisher' originated from the combination of 're-' (prefix meaning 'again' or 'back') and 'furbish' (to renovate or brighten). The concept of refurbishing items has been around for centuries, with a focus on giving new life to used or old objects. In the modern context, refurbishers play a significant role in sustainability efforts by extending the lifespan of products through repair and renovation.
