Etymology
Γεμάτος is the adjectival form built from the verb γεμίζω, meaning to fill. That verb goes back to ancient γέμω, to be full or laden, the same root behind γόμος, meaning cargo or freight. The ending -τος works like the English suffix -ed, turning a verb into a descriptive adjective meaning the action was done.
