Root Explanation

Completeness → It is formed from "com-" (meaning together or fully) and "pleteness" (from the root "plere", meaning to fill). The word "completeness" refers to the state of being fully filled or whole.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'fully' ('com-') 'filled' ('plere') — that's what completeness means.
