replete

Replete, an adjective meaning "fully or abundantly provided or filled," describes something brimming with content. It can refer to physical abundance, like a pantry stocked with spices or a hotel room with amenities. Replete can also describe a feeling of satisfaction, such as being "replete after a meal." The word originates from the Latin "plēre," meaning "to fill," sharing its roots with words like "complete" and "deplete." While both "complete" and "replete" indicate fullness, "replete" emphasizes abundance and satiety. The English language itself is "replete" with descendants of "plēre." Other examples include "expletive," "implement," and "supply," highlighting the enduring legacy of this Latin root.
