Root Explanation

Implement → It is formed from "in-" (meaning into) and "plere" (meaning to fill). The word "implement" means to fill something into a plan or to put it into effect.

Memory Tip

Think of putting something 'into' ('in-') action by 'filling' it out ('plere') — that's why implement means to put a plan into effect.
