Contraplete

/ˌkɒntrəˈpliːt/ adjective

Definition

An obscure or archaic term, possibly relating to something that is complete in a contrary or opposite way, though usage is unclear.

Etymology

Possibly from Latin 'contra-' (against) + 'pletus' or 'plenus' (full, complete). This appears to be a rare historical term with minimal documented usage.

Kelly Says

Some words in the dictionary are basically fossils—they exist in old texts but nobody uses them anymore. 'Contraplete' might be one of those linguistic extinctions.
