Etymology

The word "replete" traces back to Latin repletus, the past participle of replēre ("to fill again"). It combines re- (indicating repetition) and plēre (to fill), reflecting the idea of being "filled to fullness." Over time, it broadened from literal satiation (e.g., food) to metaphorical abundance (e.g., knowledge or resources).
