'implement' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'implēre,' where 'in-' meant 'into' and 'plēre' meant 'to fill.'

'implēre' transformed into the French word 'implementer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'implement' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to fill up or complete,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to put into effect or action.'
