Pronunciado como (IPA)

/kumˈpliɾ/

Etimoloxía (inglés)

Inherited from Old Spanish cumplir~complir, from Vulgar Latin *complīre, from Latin complēre. The retention of /pl/ is unusual and perhaps reflects some form of conservative tendency. Cf. henchir < *implīre < implēre for the more usual outcome. Compare also Portuguese cumprir, which shows a similar lack of palatalization.
