Etymology

The word 'replenish' originated from the Old French word 'replenir', meaning 'to fill up, make full'. It entered the English language in the late 14th century. The prefix 're-' means 'again', and 'plenish' comes from the Latin 'plenus', meaning 'full'. Over time, 'replenish' evolved to encompass the idea of refilling or renewing something that has been used or depleted.
