Root Explanation

**Fulfilment** → It is formed from "ful-" (meaning full) and "fill" (from Old English *fyllan*, meaning to make full) and "-ment" (a suffix indicating the action or result of a verb). The word "fulfilment" means the action or state of making something full or complete.

Memory Tip

Think of 'making full' ('ful-') and 'filling' something ('fill') — that's why fulfilment means achieving completeness.
