Etymology of REPLETE

The word "replete" has its origins in the Latin word "replētus" which means "filled up", or "full". It comes from the prefix "re-", meaning "again" or "back", and "plēre", meaning "to fill". The term was borrowed into English from Middle French in the 15th century, retaining its original meaning of "well- or fully filled". Over time, it evolved to also encompass a metaphorical sense of being richly supplied or abundantly endowed with something.
