completion
Definition & meaning
The word compimento refers to the act of bringing something to its conclusion or the state of being complete. It has two main nuances:
- Completion or fulfillment: The process of finishing a task, a work, or a project, or the act of fulfilling a promise, a desire, or a duty.
- Termination: The final point or the end of a specific period or process (e.g., the reaching of a certain age).
Grammar & Word origin

Word origin: The word is derived from the Italian verb compiere (to complete, to fulfill). It is formed by adding the suffix -mento (which indicates an action or the result of an action) to the root of the verb. It shares the same Latin etymological root as the verb complere (to fill up, to complete).
