Lemma: συμπληρώνω
Translation: to complete; to fill in; to fill out; to supplement; to complement (verb)
Etymology: From the prefix συν- (syn-, meaning 'together, with') + πληρώνω (plirono, 'to fill, to pay'). The root πλήρης (pliris) means 'full, complete' and is cognate with English 'full' and 'plenty' through Proto-Indo-European *pleh₁-. The compound literally means 'to fill together' or 'to make complete by filling.' This verb emphasizes the collaborative or additive nature of completion, distinguishing it from simple filling.

Συμπληρώνω τη φόρμα.
I fill out the form.
Confused word:
Πληρώνω το λογαριασμό.
I pay the bill.
Notes: Both come from the same root but have completely different meanings in modern usage
Mnemonic: συμπληρώνω has 'συν-' prefix = completing together; πληρώνω alone = paying money
