+ ==Forms==

+ '''remplir'''^(Wiktionary)

+ Old French ''raemplir'', from an older ''aemplir'', ''remplir'' absorbed it.^(TLFi)^(Bloch & Wartburg 1989)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed [[af|fr|re-|emplir]].^(TLFi)^(Grand Robert 2005)^(GLLF 1989)^(Wiktionary)^(Littré 1873)^(FEW|4, 592a) Medieval French usually had “raemplir”, a compound of an older “aemplir”, which “remplir” finally absorbed.^(TLFi)^(Bloch & Wartburg 1989) “Emplir” comes from a Vulgar Latin “*implire”, for classical [[la|impleō|t=to fill]].^(Bloch & Wartburg 1989)^(Wiktionary) In most Gallo-Romance dialects “remplir” has displaced “emplir”.^(Bloch & Wartburg 1989)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The participle ''raanpliz'' is in the ''Roman d'Eneas'' (about 1130), of a castle well stocked with food; the sermons of Saint Gregory on Ezekiel (late 12th century) have “to make full”.^(Grand Robert 2005)^(BHVF)^(TLFi)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Refilling something emptied is in the ''Roman de Renart'' (late 13th century): ''Renart le remple'' “Renart fills it again”.^(TLFi)^(Littré 1873) About 1350 one could ''remplir le cœur de'' a feeling, and ''rempli de soi-même'' “full of oneself” is in La Rochefoucauld (1678); ''remplir son sac'' “to get rich” dates from about 1465.^(TLFi)

+

+ Charles d'Orléans (1414) uses it for crowding a place, Robert Estienne (1549) for filling time, and Vaugelas (1647) for holding a post or office.^(TLFi)^(BHVF) Corneille (1651) has ''remplir un nom'', to live up to it, and Furetière (1690) ''remplir un blanc''; filling in a form is a later use.^(TLFi)^(Wiktionary)
