Complete; finished; a poetic or archaic spelling variant of 'complete.'
Middle English and Early Modern English variant spelling of complete, from Old French complet, from Latin completus (filled up, finished). This spelling persists in historical titles like 'The Compleat Angler' (1653).
Izaak Walton's 'The Compleat Angler' immortalized this archaic spelling, and it's become a playful reference—modern writers use 'compleat' to sound charmingly old-fashioned, like spelling 'ye olde' on shop signs.
