Why this word

full

Replete suggests abundantly or excessively filled, not just containing something

filled

Replete emphasizes completeness and abundance more than simple occupancy

packed

Replete is more formal and suggests richness of content rather than physical crowding

Usage tip

Use to emphasize abundance or completeness. Always followed by 'with.' More vivid than 'full of' or 'filled with.'

Etymology

Latin 'repletus' (filled up), from 're-' (again) + 'plere' (to fill)
