Etymology

Derived from Latin consummatus (past participle of consummare), combining con- (intensive prefix) + summus (highest, superlative of superus). The root summus reflects the idea of reaching the pinnacle or final stage. Over time, "consummate" evolved in English to denote both the act of completion (verb) and the state of perfection (adjective), emphasizing mastery or fulfillment.
