Word History
Etymology
Adjective
Middle English complet, compleet, complete, borrowed from Middle French & Latin; Middle French complet, borrowed from Latin complētus, past participle of complēre "to fill, make up, carry to completion," from com- com- + plēre "to fill" — more at full entry 1
Note:
The simplex plēre is only attested in an inscription of 176/77 A.D., as a gerund, and in a comment of the grammarian Sextus Pompeius Festus, that "the ancients also used to say plentur without prefixes" ("plentur antiqui etiam sine praepositionibus dicebant"). If such a verb existed, it was replaced at an early date by prefixed compounds such as complēre, in which the prefix marks perfective aspect.
Verb
Middle English completen, derivative of complet complete entry 1

com·plete (kəm-plēt′)adj. com·plet·er, com·plet·est 1. Having all necessary or normal parts, components, or steps; entire: a complete medical history; a complete set of dishes.2. Botany Having all principal parts, namely, the sepals, petals, stamens, and pistil or pistils. Used of a flower.3. Having come to an end; concluded: The renovation of the kitchen is complete. 4. a. Absolute; thorough: complete control; a complete mystery.b. Accomplished; consummate: a complete musician.5. Football Caught in bounds by a receiver: a complete pass.tr.v. com·plet·ed, com·plet·ing, com·pletes 1. To bring to a finish or an end: She has completed her studies.2. To make whole, with all necessary elements or parts: A second child would complete their family. Fill in the blanks to complete the form.3. Football To throw (a forward pass) that is caught in bounds by a receiver.[Middle English complet, from Latin complētus, past participle of complēre, to fill out : com-, intensive pref.; see com- + plēre, to fill; see pelə- in Indo-European roots.]com·plete′ly adv.com·plete′ness n.com·ple′tive adj.Synonyms: complete, finish, close, end, conclude, terminate These verbs mean to bring to a natural or proper stopping point. Complete and finish suggest the final stage in an undertaking: "Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime" (Reinhold Niebuhr)."Give us the tools, and we will finish the job" (Winston S. Churchill). Close and end both imply bringing something ongoing to a conclusion: The band closed the concert with an encore. We ended the meal with fruit and cheese. End can also mean putting a stop to something, often with finality: "Many advocates say [putting] laptops in schools is a promising way to end the digital divide between the races" (Char Simons)."It left him more exposed than ever, forcing him to end the career he loved" (Molly Worthen). Conclude is more formal than close and end: The author concluded the article by restating the major points. Terminate suggests reaching an established limit: The playing of the national anthem terminated the station's broadcast for the night. It also indicates the dissolution of a formal arrangement: The firm terminated my contract yesterday.Usage Note: Although complete is often held to be an absolute term like perfect or chief, and supposedly not subject to comparison, it is often modified by words like more and less in standard usage. As far back as 1965, a majority of the Usage Panel accepted the example His book is the most complete treatment of the subject.
