Etymology
'purposefully-complete' is a compound word formed from 'purposefully' and 'complete'. 'Purposefully' originates from 'purpose', which comes from Old French 'purpos', meaning 'intention', and 'complete' comes from Latin 'completus', meaning 'filled up'.
'Purposefully' evolved from Middle English 'purpos', and 'complete' from Latin 'completus', merging in modern English to form 'purposefully-complete'.
Initially, 'purposefully' meant 'with intention', and 'complete' meant 'filled up'. Together, they evolved to mean 'fully completed with intention'.
