Suplimentar entered Romanian from French supplémentaire in the 19th century, during the wave of Latin-Romance borrowings that modernized Romanian vocabulary. The French word is built on Latin supplementum, itself from supplere, meaning to fill up or complete. Supplere combines the prefix sub- (up from below) with plere (to fill), a verb tied to the same old root as English full and plenty.
