Root Explanation

Completely → It is formed from "com-" (meaning together or fully) and "pletere" (from Latin "plere", meaning to fill). The word "completely" means to fill something fully or entirely.

Memory Tip

Think of 'fully' ('com-') filling something ('plere') — that's why completely means entirely.
