Etymology
'properly' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'proprius,' meaning 'one's own' or 'special.' 'Complete' comes from Latin 'completus,' meaning 'filled up' or 'finished.'
'Properly' evolved from Old French 'propre' and 'complete' from Old French 'complet,' eventually becoming the modern English words 'properly' and 'complete.'
Initially, 'properly' meant 'in a manner that is one's own,' and 'complete' meant 'filled up.' Over time, 'properly' evolved to mean 'correctly' and 'complete' to mean 'finished.'
