Etymology: 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).
