Root Explanation

Completion → It is formed from "com-" (meaning together) and "plere" (meaning to fill). The word "completion" refers to the act of filling something up or bringing it to a state of fullness or finish.

Memory Tip

Think of 'filling something up' ('plere') 'together' ('com-') — that's why completion means bringing something to its full state.
