Word origin

The word 'replenishment' originated from Middle English in the late 14th century, derived from Old French 'repleniss-, stem of replenir' meaning 'to fill up again'. The prefix 're-' indicates repetition, while 'plenir' comes from Latin 'plenus' meaning 'full'. Over time, 'replenishment' has evolved to encompass various contexts such as finance, military, and general usage.
