The condition of being completely filled or supplied. 2. Excessive fullness, as from overeating. We have to earn silence, then, to work for it: to make it not an absence but a presence; not emptiness but repletion. --Pico Iyer, "The Eloquent Sounds of Silence," [1]Time, January 1993 With distended belly and bursting waistcoat, his eyes glazed with repletion, he picks listlessly at his teeth with a fork. --Kenneth Rose, "Madness of King George's son," [2]Daily Telegraph, November 14, 1998 He lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion. --Jeff Guinn, "The Ghoul, the Bad, the Ugly," [3]Arizona Republic, June 7, 1999 _________________________________________________________ Repletion is derived from Latin replere, "to fill again, to fill up," from re- + plere, " to fill." Plenty is a related word.
