Where this word comes from

A stative verb in -eō, -ēre originally meaning “to be full”, based on a then lost factitive nasal-infixed present from Proto-Indo-European *pl̥-né-h₁-ti ~ *pl̥-n-h₁-énti (“to fill”), from the root *pleh₁- (“to fill; full”). According to De Vaan, the original third-conjugation verb *polnō might have been displaced by pleō (“to fill”), which reflects the original root aorist.
