+ It is [[der|la|repleō|t=to fill up, stuff]], used as an adjective: the past participle of that verb.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Bianchi & Lelli 2014) The verb is a compound of [[m|la|re-]] and ⟨-pleō⟩ “to fill”, which de Vaan derives from a root aorist [[ine-pro|*pleh₁-|t=to fill]]; the same root gives [[m|la|plēnus|t=full]].^(de Vaan 2008)
