Etymology
Romanian borrowed "a completa" in the nineteenth century, when the language absorbed large numbers of French and Latin-based words to modernize its vocabulary. The verb traces back to Latin "completus," the past participle of "complere," meaning to fill up fully. The French verb "compléter" likely reinforced the borrowing and shaped its modern form.
