đầy đủ

/rɪˈpliːt//rɪˈpliːt/

The word "replete" derives from the Latin adjective "repleus," which means "filled" or "fully furnished." It entered the English language in the 14th century, during the Middle English period, and its meaning has remained relatively stable ever since. In its Early Modern English usage, "replete" was most commonly used to describe a person's mood or state of mind. For example, someone might be said to be "replete with joy" or "replete with sorrow." Over time, however, the meaning of "replete" has expanded to describe more than just emotions. Today, it can also be used to depict something that is "filled" or "abundant" in a more general sense, such as a "replete harvest" or a "replete meal." Interestingly, the etymology of "replete" also indicates that it was once used as a synonym for "repelled" or "repulsive," but this usage fell out of favor in the 16th century. Despite its historical ascent and descent, "replete" remains a rich and versatile word that continues to be used in English literature and everyday speech. Its latinate origins underscore its scholarly and elegant quality, making it a valuable addition to any writer's or speaker's linguistic arsenal.
