Etymology of COMPLYING

The word "complying" is derived from the verb "comply", which came into English in the late 16th century. "Comply" originated from the Latin word "complēre", which means "to fulfill" or "to complete". The Latin word, in turn, comes from the prefix "com-" meaning "together" or "fully", and the root word "plēre" meaning "to fill". Thus, "complying" ultimately conveys the idea of "fulfilling" or "acting in accordance with" something or someone.
