Why “impletion” is a great word
IMPLETION — [Noun] The act of filling something or the state of being full. From the Late Latin impletionem, a noun of action from the Latin verb implēre ("to fill up"), from in- ("in, into") + plēre ("to fill"). Unlike "repletion," which implies a surfeit, a glutted belly, or "implementation," a term conscripted for executing plans, impletion is the serene, general principle of becoming whole. It is the silent rise of water in a clay jug, the gradual absorption of ink into a blank page, and the patient accretion of meaning in a well-chosen word—the quiet satisfaction of a vessel meeting its purpose, a momentary victory against the pervasive emptiness of things.
Etymology
From Late Latin implētiō (past participle of Latin impleō (“to fill up”) + -iō); see also implement.
