furbished
Restored to shine
Furbished is the past tense of furbish, meaning to polish, renovate, or restore to good condition.
The word appears almost exclusively in the phrase refurbished, which has largely absorbed its meaning.
On its own, furbished sounds archaic: The knight furbished his armor before battle.
