One way to hold this word: a container filled right to the top, with the contents pressing against the lid. Nothing more will go in, and you can see that from outside without opening it. The container changes from use to use — a book, a report, a whole period of history, or a person at the end of a big meal — but the picture does not. The Latin behind the word says the same thing: filled up.
From the word’s history
From Middle English, from Old French replet, from Latin repletus, filled up; the modern uses all keep that passive sense of having been filled.
資料上寫,這個字經中古英文、古法語 replet,來自拉丁文 repletus,意思是「被填滿的」。今天的每個用法都還留著那個被動的味道:不是它主動去裝,而是它已經被裝滿了。
