I believe the answer is:

relent

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stop refusing' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'to get furnished afresh?' is the wordplay.
'to get' becomes 're' (I've seen this in other clues).
'furnished afresh?' becomes 'lent' (I've seen this in another clue. I am not sure about the 'afresh?' bit.).
're'+'lent'='RELENT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for relent that I've seen before include "Change one's mind" , "Become less intense" , "Abandon cruel treatment" , "Become less severe and more forgiving" , "Be less strict" .)
