Etymology
Împlini is a native Romanian formation built on plin, meaning full, which comes from Latin plenus. The prefix îm- (a variant of în-, meaning in or into) was added to plin along with the verb-forming suffix -i, giving a literal sense of to make full. The result runs parallel in meaning to Latin implere, to fill up, though Romanian built the word from its own adjective rather than borrowing the Latin verb directly.
