" performed "

[Verb]  | "per*form" | \ pər-ˈfȯrm \

1: to adhere to the terms of : fulfill

2: carry out, do

3: to do in a formal manner or according to prescribed ritual

Origin: 14th century ;

 Middle English parformen, parfournen, perfourmen, performen "to complete, perfect, accomplish, carry out (a duty, plan), construct," borrowed from Anglo-French parfourner, parfurnir, performer, parfourmir "to carry out, execute, complete" (continental Old French parfornir), from par-, per- {see: |per-|per-} + fornir, furnir "to supply, provide, {see: |furnish|furnish}"; forms with -m- probably by association with former, formir "to {see: |form:2|form:2}";

  * Note : Note that the Germanic etymon *frumjan, the source of Old French fornir, had an -m- which is reflected in Old Occitan and medieval Catalan formir, medieval Pisan frumiare "to make ready, deliver," though neither early French nor the dialectal evidence assembled by Französisches etymologisches Wörterbuch shows any trace of the -m-—hence it is unlikely to have played a role in the history of performer. The variants with -n-, common in Middle English, did not survive into Modern English.;
