'replete' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'repletus,' where 're-' meant 'again' and 'plere' meant 'to fill.'

'repletus' transformed into the Old French word 'replet,' and eventually became the modern English word 'replete' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to fill again,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'filled or well-supplied with something.'
