Etymology: "Plenished" is the past form of "plenish", a verb that in Scots means to furnish a house or farm with goods, stock, or equipment. The word is a Scots survival, and its meaning sits close to the idea of making something full. It comes from Anglo-Norman "plenir", meaning "to fill", which in turn is built on "plein", "full". The same stem lies behind "replenish", the more familiar English word, which came into use with the same sense of filling again. The shape of the verb reflects its French ancestry. In Anglo-Norman, "plenir" changed its stem in some of its conjugated forms, and English-speaking Scots took over one of those altered stems, "pleniss-", as the base for their verb. That is why "plenish" looks less like "plenir" than it might.
