Made complete or enhanced by having something added to it that works well with it.
Past participle of complement (Latin complementum). Originally meant 'filled up' but evolved to mean 'completed' or 'made better by addition.'
When something is complemented, it's like a peanut butter sandwich getting jelly—neither is wrong alone, but together they're exponentially better, which is exactly how complementary colors work in art too!
