Root Explanation
Completed → It is formed from "com-" (meaning together) and "plere" (meaning to fill). The word "completed" means to have filled something together, indicating that a task or project has been fully finished or fulfilled.
Memory Tip
Think of 'filling something together' — 'com-' means together, and 'plere' means to fill. This helps you remember that 'completed' means something has been fully finished.
