Etymology
1. c.1384, from O.Fr.
complet "full," from L.
completus, pp. of
complere "to fill up," from
com- intensive prefix +
plere "to fill" (see plenary).
2. From Middle English compleet (“full, complete”), borrowed from Old French complet or Latin completus, past participle of compleō (“to fill up, to complete”) (whence also complement, compliment), from com- + pleō (“to fill, to fulfill”) (whence also deplete, replete, plenty), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pleh₁- (“to fill”) (English full). See: English '
full'.
