Etymology

The word 'replenish' originated from the Old French word 'repleniss-', stem of 'replenir', meaning 'to fill up again'. It entered the English language around the 14th century. The prefix 're-' signifies repetition, while 'plenir' comes from the Latin 'plenus', meaning 'full'. Over time, 'replenish' has evolved to encompass the idea of refilling, renewing, or restoring something to a full or complete state.
