Explete

/ɪkˈsplit/ adjective; verb

Definition

Completely filled or satisfied; to fill out completely.

Etymology

From Latin explerus, past participle of explere (to fill completely), from ex- (out) + plere (to fill).

Kelly Says

Explete is the ancestor of expletive—both come from the same Latin root about 'filling out,' but explete means genuinely full while expletive just means a filler word used to complete a sentence.
