Replete comes from Old French replet, from Latin repletus, past participle of replere ('to fill up'), from re- (intensive) + plere ('to fill'). The historical chain includes Latin repletus, Latin plere, and Proto-Indo-European *pleh₁-. The quoted older senses, "to fill up" and "to fill", supply the semantic anchors for replete. The formation is best read as compound, participial, and borrowed: the word replete carries its older form-history into a compact English lexical shape. In present English it is used as a adj, "filled or well-supplied with something". English derivatives include repletion and repleteness; related English forms include complete, deplete, and plenty. The result is a adj and verb whose etymology preserves both the older form and the later English specialization.
