implement

联想记忆法：“implement”与“implant”（植入）有相似的结构，想象一个工具被“植入”到工作中，起到了执行或实施的作用，因此“implement”意味着执行或实施某个计划或政策。

implement 贯彻，实施

im-,进入，使，-ple,满的，词源同full,complete.引申词义装满，提供，提供工具，贯彻，实施等。

implement

implement: [15] The idea underlying implement is of ‘filling up’. It comes ultimately from Latin implēre, a compound verb formed from the intensive prefix in- and plēre ‘fill’ (as in English complete). This originally meant ‘fill up’, and hence ‘fulfil’, but in post-classical times, under the influence of implicāre (source of English employ) it came to mean ‘use, employ’, and so the derived plural noun implēmenta denoted ‘things used, equipment’.

It was originally used in the plural in English too, and it was not until the 16th century that the singular ‘tool’ emerged. The original Latin sense ‘fulfil’ is preserved much more closely in the verb implement, which was an independent and considerably later introduction, first recorded in Scottish English in the 19th century. (From the same source come English complement and supplement.)
=> complement, complete, supplement

implement (n.)

Sense of "tool" is 1530s, from notion of things provided to do work, that which "fills up" or "completes" a household (c. 1500).
