Word origin

The word 'refill' originates from the prefix 're-' meaning 'again' and the root word 'fill,' which derives from Old English 'fyllan' meaning 'to make full.' The use of 'refill' can be traced back to the early 20th century as a part of modern vocabulary, primarily used in contexts related to containers and packaging. As consumer culture grew, so did the necessity for words that describe the process of replenishing items, leading to the popularization of 'refill' in both spoken and written language. In environmental discussions, 'refilling' has gained significance as a mindful practice to reduce waste and promote sustainability.
