>Q: what does "FURBISH" mean?

M-W says "to make lustrous" and "to give a new look to."

"Refurbish" is "to brighten or freshen up."

At Dell Outlet, for example, I think they call a computer "refurbished" even
if it never left the warehouse - for example if someone custom-ordered
a PC and then failed to pay or take delivery - that's a new computer
but now it's refurbished and for sale as-configured.
