complete

Lacking no parts

Complete means whole, with all parts present and nothing missing.

A complete set lacks no pieces; a complete sentence has all required grammatical elements.

When something is complete, it has reached its finished state—a task is complete when done, a building is complete when construction ends.

The verb complete means to finish or to supply what is lacking: Complete the form before submitting.

Completely, the adverb, intensifies adjectives: completely satisfied, completely wrong.
